I'm All In

It was an easy pick this week. Matthew West's The Motions from his 2008 CD "Something To Say".

I really like the idea of "just OK" not being enough. Our passion for something... anything really, always ends up with a positive outcome. Rarely do we get a powerful result from a routine effort.

Clearly the song is referring to following Christ and feeling his passion totally and without reserve. Its a great question for our faith and our lives in general. What if we gave everything - our full effort? No ifs, ands or buts... Wouldn't that be fulfilling?

I think of many situations where I've just gone through the motions: with my kids and parents, at work, in my relationships, on this SOTW page, certainly in church and in my faith. When I compare the rewards of really pouring my passion into these same situations, the difference is staggering. So I'm going "All In" on a regular basis.
