Love without Heaven’s Blessing

We may be so diligent even at church or any ministry, thinking we are serving. Yet if this is somehow stemming from a selfish motivation (perhaps only serves each other the 'usual' group) we do not have Heaven's blessing. Do all things to the glory of God.

‭‭Ezekiel‬ ‭11:19‬ ‭KJV‬‬
[19] And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh:

‭‭Ezekiel‬ ‭36:26‬ ‭KJV‬‬
[26] A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.

‭‭Philippians‬ ‭2:21‬ ‭KJV‬‬
[21] For all seek their own, not the things which are Jesus Christ's.

‭‭Philippians‬ ‭2:4‬ ‭KJV‬‬
[4] Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.

‭‭Galatians‬ ‭6:8‬ ‭KJV‬‬
[8] For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

May God tear away this cursed covering and give us bowels of mercy, hearts of flesh, tenderness and compassion, is my prayer, offered from an oppressed, anguished soul. I am sure that a work must be done for us or we shall be found wanting in the day of God.

If you shut yourselves up to each other, it is selfish love, unattended with Heaven's blessing.
