...made to worship



I suggest to you that we all worship whether we realize it or not.
The object of our worship varies.
For me, worship is a place I can exist - not just an act I can perform.
It is that, too, but it is better and bigger when I exist there.
The love my heart experiences for my family and the awareness of who I am in God’s eyes creates in me the consciousness that I must worship or be empty.

The end results of my art expressions may not always look spiritual or seem to the observer that they came from a place of worship, but they most often have. Whether I am laying out a house design, or painting a tiny fish, my art happens through the process of worship while I pray for those who are hurting or ill ~ or while I am meditating on a lesson or seeking God’s face. Most frequently I am simply listening.

“Before the day, before the light - before the world revolved around the sun
God on high stepped down into time and wrote the story of His love for everyone
He has filled our hearts with wonder so that we always remember

You and I were made to worship ~ You and I are called to love
You and I are forgiven and free!
You and I embrace surrender ~ You and I choose to believe
You and I will see who we were meant to be

All we are and all we have
Is all a gift from God that we receive. Brought to life we open up our eyes to see the majesty and glory of the King
He has filled our hearts with wonder so that we always remember

You and I were made to worship ~ You and I are called to love
You and I are forgiven and free!
You and I embrace surrender ~ You and I choose to believe
You and I will see who we were meant to be

And even the rocks cry out and even the Heavens shout at the sound of His holy name
So let every voice sing out and let every knee bow down; He is worthy of all our praise

You and I were made to worship ~ You and I are called to love
You and I are forgiven and free!
You and I embrace surrender ~ You and I choose to believe
You and I will see who we were meant to be”
