Lately I've felt like I've been doing some of the most important things in my life (prayer, scripture study, etc.) half-heartedly. On Sunday I heard something that I think will help me change that. A speaker in church shared a quote from Mother Teresa, who stated that if we do something purely out of duty it depletes us, but if we do it out of love it enriches us.
Granted, doing good things out of a sense of obligation is better than not doing them at all. Nevertheless, I believe that as I make an effort to pray, study, worship in the temple, be friendly to my neighbors, and so on out of love for my Lord and for others, I will do those things better and be more enriched by them.
