What profiteth not the spirit does no Godly profit

Don Gauthreaux's comment on 2013-11-19 12:45:59:

We are servants of the Lord, God. We should not look for any profit when doing and obeying His will. We should only serve, at our best, only to glorify Him and to further His Kingdom. We are unprofitable so that He profits.
