OK, I'm not as gifted at brevity as I thought.
I wanted to share this quote on facebook, but it was too long. This is from Spiritual Slavery to Spiritual Sonship by Jack Frost. Here it is:

"The Great Commandment to love God and love others is a call to intimacy; the Great Commission to go and make disciples is a call to fruitfulness. Intimacy is to precede fruitfulness. The Great Commandment must precede the Great Commission and is an inseparable part of it. When intimacy does not precede fruitfulness, we easily become subject to our own mission and become focused upon religious duty, hyper-religious activity, and aggressive striving that leaves an angry edge in our life and relationships."
Yeah, I've been there. And I'm still in the process of growing out of being duty-driven and into being drawn and motivated by the love of Jesus (receiving it and letting it flow through me to others). I pray that we all keep growing in that direction.
