A lot of times people will say to me “Man, I don’t really like to worship.” And I respond with “What do you mean you don’t like to worship?!” then I get “Well, I don’t like to sing..” Then I realized how confused they were. They thought that singing was the only form they could participate in. Before I go on I must say that I believe if we are to show up to church, then we are to participate in worship in song. I have a hard time seeing Heaven and only the people who feel like singing and worshiping do that. In a church service I believe, unless you are not a believer, that you should be trying to engage with God…..even if you don’t like to sing or aren’t the best singer. God loves our worship no matter what the sound. As long as it is authentic and true.
Now! back to where i was going. There are tons of ways to worship God and I am interested in things everyone else does. Write a comment below and take a look together at some different ways to worship our King.

“He is jealous for me,
Loves like a hurricane, I am a tree,
Bending beneath the weight of his wind and mercy.
When all of a sudden,
I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory,
And I realise just how beautiful You are,
And how great Your affections are for me.
And oh, how He loves us so,
Oh how He loves us,
How He loves us all
We are His portion and He is our prize,
Drawn to redemption by the grace in His eyes,
If grace is an ocean, we’re all sinking.
So Heaven meets earth like a sloppy wet kiss,
And my heart turns violently inside of my chest,
I don’t have time to maintain these regrets,
When I think about, the way…
He loves us.”
Man when I think of the lyrics of this song, so literal and true, it just breaks me. We have been doing this song at our church and I feel like it has been speaking to a lot of people. Realizing that God is jealous for me just as my wife would be if I was spending more time/giving more love to something else. How sweet the grace He has for us that is so massive that it could swallow us WHOLE! Thank God for grace and may we be ruined by him.
