Trying to explain the intense personal thing that is worship to someone who has never experienced that or does not understand it, can be rather difficult. Sometimes its frustrating, most of the times its saddens me. There are so many words that I want to use, but none of them do the experience complete justice.
You know that feeling of complete gratefulness and humbleness that sweeps over you when in the presence of God? You know the lump in your throat that gets bigger and bigger as you dwell on the thought that Jesus Christ gave his life for someone such as you? Remember the times all you could do was sob and prostrate yourself as low as you could before Glory of the Lord? These are the times that words do not bring justice to His mercy.
I have never been worthy of his Mercy or Love, yet in His presence both are abundant. I can only ask myself why he chooses to love me after His overwhelming Spirit has settled. Because while I'm in His midst, all questions are mute. There is no room for doubt.
The most intriguing part about this experience is I worship because He first loved me. I worship because it runs through my blood, intertwined in my DNA by design. And after all is said and done, an act meant to glorify my Father ends up blessing me. This is proof in how much he loves. Even an act of Worship towards him, about Him, for Him still shows his selflessness. An act towards Him still feeds my soul? What type of love is this? One that words cannot describe.
And here lies the reason I sing. The reason I lead, the reason I love Him. This sacred thing that is worship is available to all. With the pure heart, the Lord says I may lead His people to the Throne of Grace. My desire is to give people this experience so that God may be glorified. Let us not forget that worship of Jesus is an act of the will. It is a daily attitude that culminates at the foot of his throne. I am excited to everyday to remind myself that His anger may last a moment, but His favor last a lifetime.
Worship: What is it to you?
