motivations vs. intensions
Something I'm working on in my mind at the moment (not yet complete)-
motivations are not so important- so long as the deed is good God can use and change bad motivations for carrying out the deed.
Flipside- intensions are also not important- good intentions as motivation for action mean nothing we need to observe God's intensions. still working on this one- thoughts??

Good question Mim. There is a proverb: "good intentions path the way to hell." Really unless we humble ourselves and let God's intentions incase our actions we are sinning. Although God can work through the worst intentions of man to bring His glory we should attempt to reconcile our own motivations and intentions with that of God's.
