Love, An Act of Worship
Day after day, week after week, looking at time can be overwhelming. If we can reduce our focus on the moment and fully experience 'God with us' in this moment, every single breath, we are then fully aware of our relationship with Him. We experience His love, compassion, grace and mercy. Then throughout our day, we can make every motion an act of worship to our awesome God and do it all for Him. Whatever we do, even our breath is worship to Him. We must not ever forget that any act we do, whether work in an office, work for a client, work in preparation of anything, cleaning, cooking, etc., if we really stop and think about doing it all for the Lord, it becomes our very act of worship to Him.
He is Glorious, He is Omnipotent, He is Truth, He is Love.
Whatever we do, it is ministry for someone. Think about it. Even washing clothes, doing the dishes, writing business proposals, filing charts, answering calls, it doesn't matter, when it is offered with joy it becomes a ministry in serving someone else. We have a choice whether to do it with love or with a heavy heart.
I do not know one person that isn't seeking love, not one, that is you and me. When we genuinely love, what we do throughout our day becomes a gift to someone else, an act of love which begins a response to His love. We are only vessels carrying His love and His grace. We are lights in a world of despair. His light shines in every act we do.
So as we go through our day, we really see this act of worship, and do it all to the glory of God.
We are His representatives, let everyone see His 'unconditional love' in us.
'Put on Love'
1 Corinthians 10:31 Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
Colossians 3:12 Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; 13 bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do. 14 But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection. 15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful. 16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. 17 And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him. ...:23 23 And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, 24 knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.
2 John 1:3 For I rejoiced greatly when brethren came and testified of the truth that is in you, just as you walk in the truth. 4 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth. 5 Beloved, you do faithfully whatever you do for the brethren and for stranger.
Even the smallest creatures give praise to God as they work...Psalm 150:6
