Passion or Drive?

The one who does the most for God
Won’t always be the one
Who has the most rewards above
Or hears Christ say “Well done.”

A driven man can do a lot
For reasons good or bad
This must not be confused for zeal
Which makes the Savior glad.

For in that day, “Lord, Lord, we worked,”
Won’t be the magic phrase,
And only those who know the Lord
Will stand His piercing gaze.

Lord, You have died for me in love,
Oh, help me live for You
With fervent zeal and ardent love
Inspiring all I do.

Christina Joy Hommes

“Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.” Revelation 2:4

“Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto Himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.” Titus 2:13-14
