Motivation to Serve

Guilt is a huge motivator.  It can make us volunteer, do penance, teach a class, and otherwise burn our candle at both ends - all without emotions, empathy, or concern.  Guilt compares us to others and brings up conversations from naysayers.  Guilt reminds you of your failures and confuses your motives with "oughts."  Satan uses many tricks in his bag to get us to serve, but the only motive that satisfies is the one Jesus gave to love and serve as He did.
