"In your light we see light."  Psalm 36:9
Motivation
Colossians 3:1,2
Posted 5 August 2010

What motivates children to do well at school - or to do the other thing?  Exactly the same as motivates adults: self-interest or God’s interests.  One or the other - there is no middle road.  When, in Colossians 3, Paul commands God’s people “set your hearts on things above … set your minds on things above … clothe yourselves [with things from above]” he is linking what we do to how we think to who we love.  In short, children like adults - your children like you - will think and do what their hearts love.
