What's Your Motivation?

Along with focus, there are other themes God is bringing to the front burner. Love. Heart. Motivation.



What?



You mean like the actor preparing for his role saying, "What's my motivation?"



Yeah, like that.



The better my focus, the healthier my heart and love---the better my motivation.



But once my focus is off Him and on my self, boy does my motivation take a turn. A bad turn.



My desire this year is to have His heart, His focus, His love, His motivation.



And for it to be no act!



Lord, help me!



Anyone out there relate?
