Motive

"The Judaic religion consisted mostly of rites and ceremonies. The motives and affections of a man were of little value, if only he appeared to fast. The great Nazarene, meek as he was mighty, rebuked the hypocrisy, which offered long petitions for blessings upon material methods, but cloaked the crime latent in thought." There is a reason why Mrs. Eddy gave us the daily duties! There is a reason why we are bidden to do them daily! A Rule for Motives and Acts instructs us daily to be ever mindful of our motives! Is divine Love alone governing me or am I being impelled by animosity or mere personal attachment? Those impulsions can creep up if I become unalert and all the "nice" words or deeds or "church work" can never cover up an impure motive!
