When I share my testimony, when I write, when I pray, when I give praise to another... it will all be nothing more than words if I don't show it through what I do. It is all in vain if it doesn't come from my heart. It's so easy to "talk the talk." But if I'm not practicing what I preach, "What good are words?" I want to be the one who walks the walk!
It's time to move my feet, baby!

"True faith is focused in and on the Lord Jesus Christ and always leads to righteous action. The Prophet Joseph Smith taught that “faith [is] the first principle in revealed religion, and the foundation of all righteousness” and that it is also “the principle of action in all intelligent beings” (Lectures on Faith [1985], 1). Action alone is not faith in the Savior, but acting in accordance with correct principles is a central component of faith. Thus, “faith without works is dead” (James 2:20).
The Prophet Joseph further explained that “faith is not only the principle of action, but of power also, in all intelligent beings, whether in heaven or on earth” (Lectures on Faith, 3). Thus, faith in Christ leads to righteous action, which increases our spiritual capacity and power. Understanding that faith is a principle of action and of power inspires us to exercise our moral agency in compliance with gospel truth, invites the redeeming and strengthening powers of the Savior’s Atonement into our lives, and enlarges the power within us whereby we are agents unto ourselves (see D&C 58:28)." - "Ask in Faith" - Ensign, May 2008, 94-97 - David A.

Make a Move
by, Royal Tailor
Mr., good intentions,
So much I wanna do.
My mouth just keeps on running,
But I never follow through.
I heard that true religion,
Is love with hands and feet.
I wanna find my own way,
To reach a world in need.
I've been, captured by the unimportant.
Locked in, and now it's time to break free
There's more to life,
Open my eyes.
Someone is needing You.
So I gotta Make A Move.
What good are words,
When this world hurts.
Real faith will come through.
When I Make A Move.
We don't need permission,
To go outside of these doors.
And dream some crazy dream,
No one else has dreamed before.
To show love and compassion.
Where ever way it may be.
To put faith into action,
Do more than just believe.
We are,
Hope to those who have been broken.
We were,
Made to make a difference, Made to make a difference.
There's more to life,
Open my eyes.
Someone is needing You.
So I gotta Make A Move.
What good are words,
When this world hurts.
Real faith will come through.
When I Make A Move.
