The second law is about how the force affects the motion. A relatively small force could make, say, a tennis ball accelerate a lot (e.g. changing its direction completely), but could not make the motion of, for example, a truck change very much. This is because the mass of the objects are very different. Similarly, if two objects had the same mass, a large force would change the motion a lot, where as a small force not so much. So the change in motion depends on the size of the force and the mass of the object.
