No Hidden Agenda

12 We rejoice in saying with complete honesty and a clear conscience that God has empowered us to conduct ourselves in a holy manner and with no hidden agenda. God’s marvelous grace enables us to minister to everyone with pure motives, not in the clever wisdom of the world. This is especially true in all our dealings with you. 13 We write to you with words that are clearly understood, and there is no need for you to try to read between the lines of what we write in hopes that you can completely and accurately understand our hearts. 14 We know you have already understood us in a measure and that you will eventually come to understand us fully. Then you’ll be able to boast of us even as we will boast of you in the day of our Lord Jesus. (2 Corinthians 1:12-14 The Passion)

Walking in honesty and with pure motives and with no hidden agenda is my desire. The so-called clever wisdom of the world tells us that hidden agendas will help get us what we want. That is a clear indication of it being all about us without consideration of others and their needs.

Father, help me more and more to have pure motives and no hidden agendas in how I live my life for You. AMEN

My God, you’re such a safe and powerful place to find refuge! You’re a proven help in times of trouble—more than enough and always available whenever I need You. Psalm 46
