Love, the Best Motive

 
A little girl, who was naturally untidy, allowed her dresser drawers to remain in great disorder. Being anxious to overcome her bad habit in order to please her mother, she wrote on a piece of paper.
“To be kept tidy for mamma’s sake,” and placed it in her drawer, so that whenever she went to it she might thus be reminded of her mother’s wishes. And keeping this before her, she soon kept her drawer, in neat order. We should do well if we stamped on everything we do,
“To be done in the best possible way for the Lord Jesus Christ’s sake.”
“Whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the Name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by Him.” Col. 3:1717And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. (Colossians 3:17).
