If we are the Body...

I'm only just realizing the benefits of being the church, the bride of Christ and the body of Christ, and children of God. We are co-heirs with Christ. We have the Holy Spirit of God WITHIN us empowering us to fulfill His purpose. We are disciples of God. I am realizing more and more that whatever Jesus did on this earth is what we need to be doing as our PRIMARY function and our priviledge. My roles as wife, mother, employee, member of my forever family (local congregation) are opportunites to reflect Jesus and to lead others to him or encourage the body.

Coming back to the Heart of Worship

Worship -- I've been guilty of being a little obsessive in relationships (real or imaged). It goes like this: I wake up and I think of him. All through the day I wonder what kind of food he liked or what sports and music he liked or just what he was doing. When I do something, I wonder what he would think about it. I tell everyone about about how great he is. And then (if he knows I'm alive, lol) it's over. What if I worshipped God like I worshipped my crush of the day in high school. What if God was the first thing I thought of in the morning and the last thing I thought of at night? What if I spent time wondering what God thought and what His will is? What if I thought about what God would think of my actions before I acted? What if I told everyone how great our God is? What if worship is not about Sunday or Wednesday or music? Romans 12:1 12 Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Maybe our life is our Worship. BE BLESSED.
