Here I am to Worship

I'll never know how much it cost
To see my sin upon that cross
Here I am to worship
Here I am to bow down
Here I am to say that you're my God
You're altogether lovely
Altogether worthy
Altogether wonderful to me
~Here I am to Worship by Tim Hughes

The first two lines of this excerpt from the song is really powerful. We will never know the pain that Jesus felt when He stretched out His arms on the cross and died hanging there for us. There is no pain that we will ever endure that is as great as that. We do feel some pain, but nothing will compare to that. He was tortured slowly and He didn't even do a single thing wrong His entire life. He died on the cross for us who are undeserving because we sin daily, but He never sinned. We should be thankful that Jesus was willing though to do this for us because by that one action we will be able to live in heaven for eternity. He did what He did because it is what God had planned to happen. We can see the wonderful love of God and Christ through that action. God has an unconditional love for us and He sent His only Son to die for us so that we can all one day live with Him. That is some pretty powerful love for one to be able to go through that.

God is lovely, worthy and wonderful. He has done so many great things for us and has given us each so many blessings. He is worthy of all our praise. We shouldn't just worship only when we go to church or chapel, but we should worship Him 24/7. Since we are sinners we do fail at this, but it just means that we should try to praise Him in everything we do and we should do everything to the glory of God. Sometimes we forget how awesome God is and all the wonderful things that He has done for us, so it is important that we do take time to remember everything that He has done for us. He is wonderful and His unfailing, unconditional love is the best thing that we could ever receive. Not only should we thank God for loving us unconditionally, but we should try to love others like He loves us. It is the best kind of love that one could receive, so why wouldn't one want to share that love with others? We should even try to show this love to strangers because just maybe that one moment of a love like that can turn into something big for them and could possibly be life changing.

Remember to always worship God no matter where you are and what you are doing.
