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.
