What we do is not as important as who we do it for. (Tom Julien, missionary and author)
Another popular adage: What we do is not as important as what we are. Both are clearly exposed by what we do. Julien’s important emphasis points to the question of motivation. Are we seeking to serve self, others, or ultimately God?
Be shepherds of God’s flock … not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not greedy for money, but eager to serve. (1 Peter 5:2)
