i found a new way to worship.
a new way to please God.
by listening.
yesterday at the quarterly leader's meeting, i was like
SUPER TIRED! worship was as per normal and i sang. worshiped. even though i was tired. ok ok.. but thats not the point. what i did like half way during the song was just to stop, close my eyes, and listen..
i heard
the saints joined in one song. i saw the people around me bending their knees. (its the kind of feeling where you really think that everyone was starting to kneel.. so naturally, i opened my eyes to see whether it was really happening. but no. most were still standing. i closed my eyes again and saw the same thing. everyone was kneeling.) in worship face to the floor. it was incredible. there was the spirit of surrender.
"Lord i offer my life to you"..
there is so much you can do , in terms of worshipping, by just
shutting up. i let cried heart out to God, in silence.
sometimes, when you are like singing and kneeling and lifting your hands and all, its can get distracting, even to yourself.. i do get distracted.. like paying special attention not to sing off key and all.. so sometimes, silence IS golden.
however, there are times, where you just
CANT TAKE IT ANYMORE! your heart is pounding. your legs are trembling.. you wanna JUMP! you wanna sing! you wanna praise God with all your actions. then, you just gotta let it go.. give it all you GOT! loving him with all you have..
i mean, its like.. would you rather your boy/girlfriend say:
"
i love you. *face is smiling*"
or
"
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!! *jumps around screaming"iloveyou!" over and over again, clapping and just going nuts not caring what other people think* den smiles and looks deep in your eyes and gives you the warmest hug you ever got"
well, God is the same.. you dont have to make a fool of yourself per se, but just gotta love him with all the enthusiasm you have. hah. worship.
i'm lovin' it.
