Our Heavenly Account

No good deed,

Ever credited would be 

To 

Our heavenly account,

Unless

The signature of pure intention

It bears!

YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT. James talks about the motives for doing what we do...He says sometimes our prayers aren't answered for the same reasons. You are an amazing poet, my dear man. Hugs
