“Remember that there are only three kinds of things anyone need ever do: Things we ought to do; Things we have to do; Things we like to do.”
C. S. Lewis in a letter to his godchild, Sarah.
I will add, it is a blessing when the things we ought to do and the things we have to do are the things we like to do. And it is a great accomplishment when we are able to resist doing something we ought not to do even though we might enjoy doing it.
Colossians 3:15-17
Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
