1. Don't serve out of guilt- things done on guilt are short lived & seasonal. As soon as guilt checks out you stop.
2. You can never pay back God no matter how hard/long you serve. In fact the harder you work to pay back God, the more indebted to Him you will feel.
3. Things being difficult or challenging in your area of service doesn't necessarily mean that it's.a sign from God to move on. Most often it stems from pride, selfish interest & plain old escapism.
4. Complements as awesome as they are can make you mediocre & complacent. You know you can do much better but 'everyone' thinks you're good & so you'd rather just leave it at that.
5. It is better you don't do anything for God than doing a half hearted/shady job for Him.
Jeremiah 48:10 NIV "A curse on anyone who is lax in doing the Lord 's work!
Deutronomy28:47 KJV Because thou served not the Lord thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all
things; 48 Therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies which the Lord shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things: and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he have destroyed thee.
