The Motions

These are the lyrics from a song by Matthew West called "The Motions"

I thought they would make a great morning devotional or prayer.

This might hurt, it's not safe
But I know that I've gotta make a change
I don't care if I break,
At least I'll be feeling something
'Cause just okay is not enough
Help me fight through the nothingness of life

I don't wanna go through the motions
I don't wanna go one more day
without Your all consuming passion inside of me
I don't wanna spend my whole life asking,
"What if I had given everything,
instead of going through the motions?"

No regrets, not this time
I'm gonna let my heart defeat my mind
Let Your love make me whole
I think I'm finally feeling something
'Cause just okay is not enough
Help me fight through the nothingness of this life

Here is a link to the video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qaHmiFaX_pk

I cut off some of the verse, but it defintely worth a listen. My prayer today is that we don't just go through the motions and that we all give Him everything we have. No Regrets!

Blessings,

Good song by a committed, talented, passionate Christian artist. Its a good reminder that living today is about the heart and not the outward performance...I can be good at making a good show. But its my motivation and intent.

Have a great day guys! It's good to see more comments. It encourages me!
