"Worship is when you walk away and all you can think about is Him and your relationship with Him. You are not thinking about the band or the music or whether or not they did your favorite song or did it entirely correctly. You are simply lost in your thoughts of Him; you are remembering what the Holy Spirit told you and taught you; you are relishing in the satisfaction of your soul because your needs have been heard and met. You have given love and have received love, moreover, your affection has not been rejected and you are at peace. You are stirred to continue to be obedient to all He has commanded, not only out of duty or obligation, but because you are in love with your Creator who loves you like no one can. True worship results in change of your heart, of your actions, and of your mind. Otherwise, we have sung a bunch of songs over and over like a choir practice. So, either I am a singer and I go away a bit hoarse or I am a worshiper and I go away different." ~Jami Smith |
