Daily Devotionals by Ardith Keef

     It must be love that keeps you going.
     In the service of the Lord, you must be careful to keep clean hands in the area of motive. We cannot be energized by desire to achieve, desire to be used, or desire to be recognized.We must be driven and energized by love.
     Why? Because love is the only element that never fails. Real love, divine love, is born of the Holy Spirit and the Spirit also broods over that love.
     One of the reasons new Christians often experience a sag in zeal is because they must learn to love before there can be solid Christian character.
     If there are other motives exclusive of love, the enemy has a big, fat open door into our minds and into the work at hand.
     Love calms the mind in times of the enemy's whisperings.
     Love presses into the impossible.
     Love stills the tongue that wants so much to complain, especially about another Soldier.
     Love endures when others go home.
     Love is what and Who we press for!
