Let me start by saying I was in church last night with tears streaming down my face (its a good thing I haven't been wearing much makeup lately). I find that God uses words to speak to me. They have this supreme power in my mind, and I have no idea how/why they affect me so much. During worship, one of the songs, which is a pretty common song, said "and the cry of my heart is to bring You praise." BAM - auto cry! So often in life we know what to say, we know the desires of our hearts, or moreso, what the desires of our hearts should be - but are we living it? I KNOW that desire of my heart should be to bring God praise, but that means putting everything else beneath Him. THAT is something I have not been doing as I much as I should be. I have been letting my emotions sit on a pedestal higher than where I have placed God in my heart. I have been putting my work one rung higher. I have been allowing earthly, humanly things reign over me. Those things won't instruct my heart in a healthy manner. Only God do that. I was a wreck during worship. But then I realized, worship should wreck us. Worship should touch the innermost depths of us, tearing us apart in the most beautiful manner.
Who am I to put anything above God?
