It can be an incredibly moving experience to hear the song that moved your heart into a place of communion with the Holy Spirit. Sometimes, we have no words but those provided to us through songs that may seem corny.
We hide. We disassociate ourselves from those of whom we are ashamed. Yet, the only offering God asked for in terms of worship is a genuine, joyful noise.
I am soooo guilty of rating my worship for God and deciding what's "good enough" for God to accept. In all honesty, when the truth within me shines through the masks I put on to seem acceptable, it is the greatest gift to God. What could be better than giving my true, whole and honest self to the creator of the universe? God knows I can't sing. He made me that way. It's no surprise to God, so why should I hide it like it's some great secret?
I pray that God give me the courage to worship freely, whether I am vocally talented or not.
