"But the time is coming--it has, in fact, come--when what you're called will not matter and where you go to worship will not matter. It's who you are and the way you live that count before God. Your worship must engage your spirit in the pursuit of truth. That's the kind of people the Father is out looking for: those who are simply and honestly themselves before him in their worship. God is sheer being itself - Spirit. Those who worship him must do it out of their very being, their spirits, their true selves, in adoration."
~John 4:23-24~
I love this! There are so many of us that often feel as if we're not enough, have nothing of value to offer Him, or that we are just simply too messed up to even do it right. But God simply wants us...exactly who we are, with all of our flaws and insecurities. He wants us to come as we are and worship and adore Him for who HE is...not focusing on what we are not or are lacking. In fact, it's in those moments of pure worship before Him that He often begins writing on the slate of our hearts..."I love you...You are my precious daughter...and I will never walk away from You." And as we begin to believe that at a heart level, we have even more to worship and adore Him for.
