This willingness to serve is a recurring theme in Scripture, where God values the condition of the heart over mere external compliance (<a href="/2_corinthians/9-7.htm">2 Corinthians 9:7</a>). The stirring of the heart can be seen as a type of the work of the Holy Spirit, who moves believers to act according to God's will.
