Doing something new and fun! Another link-up. It's called "Five Minute Friday Free Write," here is a description of what it is and what to do if you want to join!
The word this week is: Worship.
Go.
Worship. When I think about it now, my heart melts. I want to be in that place all the time. I wrote once in my journal that if I could live all in music and lights it would be the most wonderful thing in the world!
But then the hard times come. How do you worship then? I have no idea. Somehow, recently, God has given me the joy and the desire to worship Him even in the times that are so impossible looking.
I've struggled with what worship in church looks like. Does it look like someone standing with their eyes closed and hands lifted? Does it look like someone weeping on their knees? Or dancing with all their might? I guess however you do it, it looks beautiful to God. He is so pleased when we truly pour out ourselves in worship and sacrifice every day of our lives. Is that worship, sacrifice? It sounds right, because I have to sacrifice looking at myself and my agenda to look at the most beautiful, most loving, most worthy One in the universe!
I love how your post encompasses a lot of the different things ive felt about worship too. its awesome! Sometimes i feel confused but in the end its all beautiful to God when our hearts are focused in Him! So cool! I believe in the Bible worship is talked about as being a sacrifice, something we offer up to God. "Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise--the fruit of lips that openly profess his name" hebrews 13:15 Thank you for sharing!
