Whenever I speak
Do I talk at someone
Or talk to them?
Whenever I listen
Do I do it intently
Or is my mind elsewhere?
Whenever I act
Do I do it out of duty
Or am I motivated by love?
Whenever I share
Do I do it humbly
Or for self-aggrandizement?
Whenever I give
Do I give generously
Or only grudgingly?
Whenever I work
Do I do it wholeheartedly
Or resentfully?
Whenever I pray
Are my plans pre-formed
Or do I surrender to God’s will?
