worship

You know, the more I think of it, worship must be selfless. It must move away from the carefree musings of campfire songs and into a realm of brokenness, abandonment, and blessing. "Brokenness" as we accept our weakness and allow ourselves to become naked before the Lord and not clothed with pious actions or words that make us seem perfect and holy; "abandonment" as we enter His courts as little children and expect that God wants to heal, nurture, and use us; "blessing" as we realize that worship is not about me, but my brothers and sisters praising our Father with me. As we embrace worship for what it ought to be, it will become a selfless and dynamic act of praise.
