“Not to put your halo down around your neck and tug you off your cloud” but one thing that scares me about my ministry is how much of it is tainted with pride and ulterior motives no matter my prayers of trying to serve with a pure heart. A trap of ministry is the yearning and seeking for the praise and accolades of fellow men and gloryfying myself instead of God.
I guess one reason why this shakes me to the core is because of the life of Judas Iscariot. He ministered and fellowshipped with Jesus Christ himself. Outwardly his actions and activities looked holy and God honoring. He would often greet Jesus with a holy kiss. But because of his pride and greed, he was the one to betray Jesus.
It all comes down to motives.
