Leann and Melissa discuss the difference between motives and intentions and how aligning yourself with God daily helps change your perspective.
Ponder Questions:
What are my motives for doing things?
Are my motives pure?
Why?
Am I doing everything for God?
Am I praying for help?
Do I have gratitude in my heart?
Am I allowing the Lord to soften my heart?
Am I serving with love and kindness?
Am I choosing to be in constant contact with heaven?
Invitation:
Keep asking yourself why throughout the day. Ask yourself, “Why am I doing this? Why am I thinking this? Why are these my intentions?” Get curious.
