A team member sent me a video link this week about worship and there was one part that really stood out and grabbed my attention. The video was an interview with Kim Walker-Smith and she said the following about worship:
"If you are not passionate about your relationship with Jesus, not passionate about worshipping, i really think it's because you don't know yet how much He loves you.
Because the word says we love Him because He first loved us. And what that means is that the moment we encounter His love, it ignites the flame of passion in our hearts. The way that we were created, in our DNA, in the very fiber of who we are, we were created to respond to His love, so when we have that encounter we can't help but respond back in love to Jesus. That's what makes the passion real, that's what makes the love real, it doesn't have to be something that's hyped up or worked up, because when you go into worship, it's just that love coming out because we are responding to His love."
A great thought for all of us - is our worship (personal and corporate) our response to His love and sacrifice? Do we get that? Do we really know how much God loves us? Do we really understand the depth of that LOVE?
"At the wonderful, tragic, mysterious tree
On that beautiful, scandalous night you and me
Were atoned by His blood and forever washed white
On that beautiful, scandalous night"
Do you know how much God loves you? Does your worship reflect that truth?
