Blogging Against My Will

There is a song sung on the radio by a man named Matthew West. It is called The Motions, and listening to it has helped change my life. I know it’s cliché, but I don’t much care. The chorus of this song says “I don’t want to go through the motions, I don’t want to go one more day, without Your all consuming passion inside of me. I don’t want to spend my whole life asking, ‘what if I had given everything?’ instead of going through the motions”.
I want to live my life without coming to the end and wondering how the outcome would have been different if I had given everything I was to God. Everything; not most of the time, but all the time, every time. So now begins the painful process of becoming more like Christ; and it will be worth it all. There is another song, an old hymn called I Have Decided to Follow Jesus that says “Tho none go with me, still I will follow. No turning back, no turning back.” We sang it in chapel at school the other day and it stayed with me. I suppose you could say I really realized that if no one else I know goes with me after Christ – I still will; because my life is complete and satisfied with Him alone, and not in anyone or anything else. I love how much I can rely on God. Faithfulness is my favorite characteristic of His, with good reason. Through many circumstances in my life - some painful, some pleasant - I have chosen to trust God during them. And He has never let me down. Not once. I can’t say that of anyone else I know. |
