Worship
So, I thought I would share what I wrote down at the Jason Upton concert last night...
There is just something about worship. It is liquid in a sense. It flows. It comes natural. I am sitting here at the Jason Upton concert and all I can do is just watch different people worhsip, in particularly, two ladies with flags. I can see the freedom they have in Christ as they dance and twirl their flags. One of the women has this unexplainable glow on her face and her eyes are gazed like she is actually looking at Jesus himself. She has this goofy smile on her face like she is with her crush. Wow! What worship!
Watching people worship has recently become one of my favorite things to do. I suppose this is my new way of worship, but of course I have always enjoyed watching people in general. As most of you know me, I am usually the hand-rais'n, danc'n, kind of girl when I worship, but for some reason it has been equally enjoyable to watch others. Some have their eyes closed. Some smile every once in a while. I was watching Patio, and he definitely had one of those goofly smiles I described earlier. Even Jason Upton had his eyes closed so intensely that you could almost think he was right there in heaven holding God's hand. The some that keep their eyes closed, I wonder what they are thinking or I wonder what they see in their mind. What visions are they seeing? Some of the worshippers are bowing down or bowing their heads out of reverence for their Father. Some have their arms raised as they wave to the Lord and others are reaching up to the skies as if they could touch our God. Others are rocking as if they are rocking to the beat of His heart.
Worship. It's so beautiful. It is so peaceful. When it is true worhsip, it is true freedom. When I came to this concert, I didn't know what to expect, so I decided not have any expectations. Well, the concert started late and at first it was hard to get into the worship, that's when I prayed and sought after the Lord. I suppose now I know it is not about getting into the worship. It's about getting into my God, getting into His heart, getting into His mind. Being one with Him. That is what it is all about. I thank Jesus! Worship is beautiful because of Him and His love and His sacrifice. He is my true worship.
Worship is so fluid. It is something that should keep on flowing. It is a way of life. It is constant. This is how I want to live. I want that forever walk of worship. I want to talk in worship. I want to walk in worship. All I want is a life of worship no matter the cost of my pride because it is not about me anyway. It has always been about Him, but have I always lived my life that way? Lord, help me to live my life in worship. You are worthy oh Lord! Thank you Jesus for revealing all this to me! You are wonderful! I love you Jesus! You are my praise! Thank you Jesus! Jesus! Jesus! Jesus! Hallelujah!!
