Hey Lovelies,
I used to believe that worship consisted solely of church singing. You know, the first fifteen or twenty minutes when everyone stands, music starts, and people sing along to well-known lyrics that are shown on a screen.
Of course, I took part, I raised my voice when others did, sang the melodies, and occasionally even closed my eyes when it seemed appropriate.
But there came a shift, I was sitting in a small service one evening when worship started, no lush scenes, no big audience, it was just a harmony of voices, some music, and a call to concentrate on God.
I sense that the atmosphere has changed, the songs became prayers that I found difficult to express on my own. I felt as though the weight I had been carrying was being gently lifted by every word.
My perspective changed immediately with much struggle, worship was accomplishing more than I had anticipated. It was reestablishing a connection between my heart and God.
I started to realise that worship is more than just music. Worship itself is the attitude of the heart turning toward God, choosing to acknowledge His presence, His goodness, and His sovereignty even in the face of uncertainty. Music is merely the medium.
Worship makes room for the kind of connection that replenishes standpoint, brings back serenity, and serves as a constant reminder of God’s presence. The lovely thing is that worship is not confined to a church.
It can occur in the solitude of your own house, during a morning prayer, while taking a stroll, or even when you stop in the middle of a typical day to give thanks to God. Worship starts wherever your heart turns to Him.
Keep in mind that every time you are in worship, you will find once more that a close relationship with God does not necessitate perfection.
With warmth,
Your Favourite Girl
