Yesterday night I cried before the Lord and I asked Him why I have lost sight of my true purpose (motivation) and joy in serving. On the one hand, I was mad at myself for being so vulnerable to mortal wax and wanes. On the other hand, I was tired and weary. However, thank God that yesterday's sermon in church was about the Power of Praise. I started singing "Awesome in This Place" and I found myself weeping more than I did.

Yet, I knew that in the midst of my tears, something in me was maturing. I knew that God was working in me through such an experience. In fact, to mark the opening of a new chapter about motivation, God gave me a song, which I will not hesitate to share on my blog now. I haven't got a title yet though.

I don't need recognition
Just to know my Lord is pleased
I don't need affirmation
From anyone but Thee

[Chorus]
Jesus, Jesus
You have loved beyond I can love
Jesus, Jesus
Help me to comprehend Your love for me

All my life I'll live to worship
Serve and wait for You gladly
You have called, You have provided
You have been with me

You're my strength, my motivation
In Your ways will I abide
Keep my peace, my joy, my passion
Even through the tide

As I've discussed 2 entries earlier, our motivation for doing anything is really the Lord's love for us. It is only because His love has empowered us, that we may have strength to do things that our otherwise humanly self wouldn't do. The most important thing we can do for others is to first comprehend what God has done for us.
