Worship


My heart is so stirred. Chi Alpha tonight was incredible. I love our family. We have something here that I hope everyone gets to experience, it's a must, it's how it should be. Tonight we heard from one of us students, his name is Sam. This guy is beautiful, he's just one of many in our group. Tonight he was asked to share with us his thoughts on worship. It was so stirring. He discussed what he felt worship was and he also described attributes of a true worshipper. Here's a recap, be blessed...

Attributes of Worship

Personal

It is you loving your Lord who you have an intimate relationship with.
Natural
It flows from your being. If we love God, everything we do will be worship
Extravagant
We discussed, the woman who poured the very expensive perfume on Jesus' head. This is
powerful because it was everything she had. The perfume was said to have such an incredible
scent that her worship to Jesus probably lasted till the day of his death on the cross. Her love
for Jesus was big.
Realistic
Worship God for who is He is in YOUR life. Remember, you have a personal relationship with
Jesus, a relationship that is none like any other.
Choice
Love is a choice, its not a have to. Worship is a choice, not a have to.
Creative
Expression
"Joy is not complete until it is expressed." -C.S. Lewis
The right order of the Universe
We were made to worship.
