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
Take me all the way
(Take me all the way)
Take me all the way
(‘Cause I don’t wanna go through the motions)
Take me all the way
(Lord, I’m finally feeling something real)
Take me all the way
~ Sing this song with me as our prayer and worship today. ~
Performed by Matthew West
The question on my heart for myself and for you is this:
Are you going through the motions
or are you walking with an all-consuming passion?
I want to live with abandon and give all that I have in this life!!! When I get to the end of my life I don’t want to have any regrets. I want to invest, with my whole heart, all that I have. And not miss any opportunities that God gives me each and every day.
Last night I had the opportunity to go to a Toby Mac concert, and he shared this thought: “With every opportunity and people you meet along the way you either drain them or lift them up.” When I ponder this question it really makes me want to use the most of each and every opportunity I am given each and every day to speak life into the lives of others.
Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits.
Proverbs 18:31 ESV
What we speak and how we act will reap fruit—it can either be good fruit or bad fruit. The choice is ours….

Father, I pray that we will be women completely living with Your all-consuming passion; living with abandon to serve You, and to make the most of the opportunities You give us. May we not be women who just go through the motions! In Jesus’ Name, AMEN!!!!
