Why Do I Serve God

Do I serve God for His glory’s sake? I’m sure of such whatever it will take For His name, I’ll be spiritually awake. I serve Him because I love Him, and that’s not fake Knowing that He loves me so without brake. Do I serve God for His commendation? I accept such as right motivation His guidance is what I trust in each direction. I serve Him because I love Him with His inspiration Assured that He loves me so in full compassion. Do I serve God for His warning and comment? I fear such as a curse, threat or punishment Having His admonition drives me toward advancement. I serve Him because I love Him, upheld by my commitment Believing that He loves me so and delights in my achievement. Do I serve God for His kingdom’s business? I support such in the spirit of meekness Privileged am I to labor thru His kindness. I serve Him because I love Him, constrained by His faithfulness Aware that He loves me so beyond my sinfulness. *Hebrews 12:28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear."
