Worship Is Just Love

I've learned--not even to say I've fully learned this--that worship is not as complex as we make it. It's not the certain way we hold our hands or how we sing the words. Whether we're screaming or softly whispering our song. God hears us. And he's standing there right next to us. Laughing at how joyful it makes him to hear our voices. That we want to sing to him. We don't have to sing a certain way. We don't have to know exactly what we want to say to God and make sure it sounds just as good as the worship song's words. Worship is just love. Our love is messy and we sometimes just spit out words. But he wants to hear them. Our love is up and down and not every day is a walk in the park. But he wants to know how you feel. Our love is impatient, emotional and it doesn't always know what it wants. But he wants to take it all from us. Because he is the God of listening, feeling our pain, and taking it all away to give us his voice. His plan. His intimate time with us. The answer to our worship; his love. We give our love to him, imperfect and human, and he gives us his love, perfect and righteous. He knows everything about us and we don't have to build ourselves up to be more holy in the time of worship. He wants us just the way we are.
