Worship is not for you, dear Christian, it is for God.
Insofar as I make worship about me, my desires, wants, and feelings, I will fail in my attempts.
The paradox of worship is that as I leave myself behind as I approach Him, I find Him welcoming me into His presence. When I express my love for Him, I find that love returned, multiplied, pressed down, and running over.
Conversely, when I go into worship to get an emotional high or spiritual fix, I find heaven silent and cold. I can never achieve a closeness with God by demanding it.
May we all learn to come to God in humility, remembering we stand in the Presence of the Most High.
I concur with that. Very good.
