Intent is What Separates Good from Bad

It is the intent, the reasons you do things, that makes them successful or not. Your heart leads you to me, or away from me, from (by) intent. Intent separates a good person from one that is not of me. Did my children intend to do good with their actions or was that intent self-directed? Those children who are self-motivated still need refining; their love is for self, instead of for others.
Some do incredible things for my Kingdom but still lack the compassion, love, and reasons behind why they are doing what they do. Take the person who heals another in my name. Their act is healing, but their intent could be love for that individual or self-directed attention that they get from being the center of that healing.
Why do we do what we do? Is it love, fear, obligation, tradition, showmanship, pride or monetary? Your intent is what carries you to new levels–new vistas in my Kingdom. Intent to do good for the sake of others, not for what you can get out of it. Love is paramount to all actions you take.
