Motives

Do you ever ask yourself why you’re doing something

Why are you reading this

Are you now wondering

You know, there’s an enemy out there

Trying to destroy you

It’s true

Look at your life

Be still

Ask if what you’re doing is really what you will

Be quiet

Turn off the screens

Try it

Ask what all this means

Where are you headed

What do you believe

Is your life a Disney movie or a country song

Either way, both tell of good and evil, right and wrong

Whatever words you use

Whatever path you choose

Notice the friction

Us and them

Fat and thin

Non-judgmental, open-minded

His, hers, theirs

Black, white, gray

Have we been blinded

Did your mind fall out

Do you feel any conviction at all

I traced my decisions back today

I opened the door for God, knowing it could be rough

A spiritual walk through some baggage, graveyards, and insecurities

The roots were thick and tough

Buried under weeds

But I heard Him say He loves me

Those roots were uncovered

Why I do what I do

An opponent behind it all

My fear that I’ll fall, that I won’t be enough

But He told me, “I already love you”

I remember this and I have peace

I still hear the enemy tease

But thank God, I’m not destroyed

And I won’t be in the end

Where do you stand

Don’t you want to uncover your roots

Even if they’re ugly and anchored

He holds the truth

Let Him be your friend, your redeemer, your gardener

He loves you

Of this be sure

Let go of all else

And let that motivate you
