The great need of a person is to make a gift of one's total self to the Lord. Without realising, we keep too many things for ourselves.
We make loud declarations of love. But when self-love rears its head, one realises clearly that God is not yet the absolute Master of our hearts.
Even on a good day we do many things for ourselves rather than for Jesus Christ.
The fact that the actions we perform are good may give us the illusion; but there is a big gap between performing good deeds and performing meritorious acts; often self-will, some secret ambitions, our selfish motives, etc., poison the holy things we do.
Only that which is done for the Lord will be rewarded by the Lord.
