For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities– all things have been created through Him and for Him. -Colossians 1:16
Worship for me was simply going to church, singing every praise and worship, doing the task/s given to me by my leader, etc. In short, I considered it (worship) as an OBLIGATION. It took me so many years, specifically 16 years to realize what TRUE worship is. I have gone through many trials−like everybody seems to be leaving me, I was really broken. I didn’t know what to do. I seek for advice but still it didn’t work because “it’s only you can help yourself before others can”. Many things had happened, mostly unexpected. Unexpected things do really happen, it happens anytime and anywhere. And it takes a HUMBLE heart to accept all those things. In my part, I never asked God why instead, I thanked Him and I praised Him because I TRUST IN HIS WILL and not mine. HUMILITY is the gateway into the grace and favor of God. His ways may be troublesome sometimes but these are the best way to shape you and make you the person He wants you to be. You can only know how strong you are when you’ve gone through the toughest times. Your struggles determine how far you’ve come. I could have given up but by God’s GRACE I have overcome! And now God is using me−my talent and my life to encourage people and bless them.
You may be struggling right now. You may seem to give up. You may feel so empty and alone. Friend, SEEK GOD! Surrender everything to Him and trust in His WILL! You may be broken but your God is BIGGER than all those fears and struggles. Everything that had happened, that is happening and that is going to happen is in His plan. Let go of the past, let go of everything that holds you back and start living for HIM! Make a worthy living. You were made to WORSHIP. Forgiving people, loving others and helping others is a form of worship. Speak good words and show good deeds. Use your life to spread His Word!
