Читать книгу Worship That Touches the Heart of God - Nina Gardner - Страница 6

Have you ever felt like you were going through the motions of life, never truly feeling alive? Have you ever gone to church looking for something to fill your emptiness and left unfulfilled? Although you had no real complaints and everything on the outside seemed fine, yet inside you knew something was missing. All the answers you seek are in your worship; the worship that starts within you. The sweet psalmist David gave us his key of worship that God vowed would never end. This Davidic Worship key is what I am presenting to you. Once you know where you fit into this pattern and experience its freedom, you will never return to going through the motions of worship feeling you have to or because are told to, but because you love to. It is here in God’s heart of love that you will find fulfillment, and where you will feel more alive than ever before.

God purposely placed inside you this need to feel alive so you would seek to touch Him. Then He carefully crafted your heart as the temple of His dwelling place and waited for you to invite Him in. He knew you would open the door and let Him in, yet He anticipates the moment when you will reach out and touch His heart with yours. Thus, your heart holds the key you seek.

All of God’s relationships are based on love and communion; therefore, He would never allow you to be the only one reaching out. In reality, He never, ever wanted to be separated from you or your love anyway, so He specifically designed a dwelling place inside His heart just for you. He purposely made it easy for your heart to touch His heart as you worship Him. God is longing for His people to know that His greatest desire is to be touched by your heart of loving Him in worship! Here in this place of love and communion is where both you and God will receive the desire of your hearts.

As you touch God and He touches you, a new passion of His love will come flooding over you. This overwhelming presence of love will melt away the old, dead parts of you and the new alive you will emerge. This is God changing you into His image and enlarging your heart so He can put more of Himself inside you. It becomes a cycle of releasing your worship from a heart of love and God putting His love inside you. Hence, the temple in your heart will grow wider, bigger, and stronger as you embrace His love and receive more of Him.
