A Worshipper at Heart

I have to admit I am an addict of facebook....I need a 12 step program...hello, my name is Libby, and I am addicted to facebook...but all kidding aside....
I took a silly quiz on there today that really said something true. I took a little quiz about what you were gifted by God to do...the answer to my quiz was a worshipper. The quiz was a little dumb but I really liked the explanation it give. Check it out....


"Your destiny is a worshipper. Worship is a natural instinct and a basic need for every person. A simple definition of worship is to regard with great devotion or to honor as a divine being. Worship happens when we sing to God, whether in church or alone - in our cars or in the shower. Your desire is to please the heart of God, it is worship, no matter where the location or how many are involved. A life of praise and worship fills your deepest needs and amazingly it also brings great joy to God. "

The part that struck me was its a basic need for every person. Deep down we all long to please the heart of our Father. We all are looking to make Him smile, to make His heart sing, to be a sweet song in His ear...
Then why do we hold back?? Why are we worried about what Sister So & So sitting next to us thinks about our worship?? Why are we worried if someone will notice?? Why do we stop just short of giving Him our all?? Does He hold back on us??

I have been working on the song "Audience of One" for our Kidz Krusade this summer...that's what we have to remember. Our only audience (THAT REALLY MATTERS!!) is Him. Who cares what anyone else thinks. Worship is a special time between God and ourself...no one else. Don't get me wrong though....I love corporate worship, but only because it inspires me more to go deeper with Him. I love being in service, and lost in my own little world in worship....then to open my eyes and see someone else really getting it to it....it only confirms to me that being free in worship is the right thing to do.

This morning we sang "Alpha and Omega" and all I could do was get on my knees and weep....He is the beginning and the end....and so worthy of all our praise, no matter what else is going on in our lives.

This week...stop and think....are you just singing that song because it came on the radio, or because your music minister choose it....or are you singing it with all your heart to you Father in Heaven because He deserves everything you can give and a million times more??
