Made for Worship (Connecting with My Creator)

Along the way I’ve discovered that my soul was made for worship. In the past I only saw worship as a way to give something back to God. I knew God loves to hear the sound of our heartfelt worship, and that through worship we returned the glory to where it belonged—God.

Now don’t get me wrong, these are very good (and biblical) reasons for worship. But, recently, it’s been my experience that worship also impacts me, speaking to my heart, lifting my spirit, bringing me joy, turning my focus to the Source of my Strength, and drawing me—heart and soul—to the very throne of God. Worship is a powerful way to open the lines of communication with my God.

I’ve discovered that, as with most things God asks of us, worship helps me more than it helps Him. My relationship with God is significantly enhanced by my sincere and authentic worship. The very act of worship reminds me of my place in the universe, the place that I belong—prostrate before the throne of God.

So join me as I throw back my head and worship with reckless abandon, joyfully engaging in a dialogue of the heart—a deep, meaningful conversation with my loving Creator.

Final Thought: Beginning church with songs of worship and praise is an invitation for God to connect with us; it prepares our hearts and minds for a life-changing exchange between heaven and earth.
