.We Shall Behold Him.


The most loving thing God will ever do is offer us the opportunity to worship Him. It's because He loves us, that the Creator would invite us into His presence to revel in Him, to adore Him, to glory in Him. This God is the only one unique and famous God ... what does He mean to me?

When Christ shall come with shouts of aclamation
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart.
Then I will bow in humble adoration
And there proclaim: my God, how great Thou art!
Then sings my soul! My Savior God, to Thee.
How great Thou art, how great Thou art.
Then sings my soul! My Savior God, to Thee.
How great Thou art, how great Thou art...

I am learning that this life is worship. I have been overwhelmed by the mercy of God, and I'll never be the same.


Because You are infinitely holy, you reach down to touch even me- the chief of sinners. God of my salvation, You have made a way for me to adore You. You have embraced me, and You will not let go. By Your Son, You have proven to me that You love me, and I have no other thought but to draw every breath in worship of You. How easily You could have pulled Yourself down off the cross, but because of a fathomless love, you joyfully held on...

What can wash away my sin? Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
What can make me whole again? Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
And oh, precious is the flow! That makes me white as snow,
No other fount I know ... nothing but the blood of Jesus.

I have been given the aroma of life- that is, the gospel pours through me if I live according to His will and law. And it is of an ancient faith, deep rooted in the profound understanding of everything eternal. Don't I want them to see that in me?

"He is causing you to breathe, causing the ocean to swell, causing the sun to rise ... No one else: Jesus Christ."
-Jake Hendrix

And I get to be with Him. I get to know Him as mine. And I want everyone else to know that because it gives me such great hope I can't begin to be selfish for. I want to be the very aroma of Christ to an aching world.

Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
Prone to leave the God I love.
Here's my heart, oh take and seal it,
Seal it for Thy courts above...

If anything, when we think about Jesus dying on the cross, we remember that God is holy, and Jesus had to die because sin had to be dealt with, that we might have a perfect way to Him...
It doesn't matter what my life entails, because though I have before been "tested in the furnace of affliction," I am always being humbled in the furnace of worship. There, I am filled with Him.

"The most intimate worshiper of Jesus, is the most joyful person on the planet."
-Freddy T. Wyatt

Why am I spending my energy and time trying to find satisfaction in things that can't provide what God can?


Delight yourself in Me, because I am your happiness...
