Worshiping God.

Sometimes it is so easy to forget how important it is to spend time with God. Not just by going to church on Sunday, but actually spending time with him every day. Since Easter Sunday I have been trying to connect more with God. In fact, during the Easter Sunday service I began to realize how much Jesus did for me that day and how I do not deserve any of the love or mercy He gives me. The fact that God loves me so much and sent Jesus to go through this pain for me is unbelievable. I do wrong every day and yet His mercy will never be enough.

Tonight I attended that last Sanctuary of the year. I had a feeling it would be a good one, but it really hit me tonight. I am learning to let myself be me during worship and to not worry about what my friends or the people around me think. It is not about them but about The One above. I let myself be one with the music and lyrics and sang them to God. During the song, "You hold me now" the arms raised around the room towards God was just amazing. People were truly worshiping the One who gives us the air we breathe. We were all one as our hands were raised to God and our voices singing praises to Him. When the song finished my friend looked at me and asked, "Is it possible for my abs to hurt from praising God so much?" My response back, "Is it possible for my back to hurt from praising God so much?" She said, "This is amazing."

The songs kept going and the worship kept becoming more passionate. Praises were being sung by hundreds of people. People who have been hurt, gone through struggles, laughed, smiled, and lived life to the fullest. No matter what people felt that day, we all praised Jesus as one. The Holy Spirit was in that room tonight and in the hearts of so many.

God is truly an indescribable being. He is Awesome and Mighty. I can't even fathom what all He has in store for me in my future if I only trust Him. Sometimes that can be scary, but I know that God is going to be there and lead me through these times. Our God is so good and He loves us so. He is holy, He is righteous, He is calm and patient. He is everything we need.
