and he encourages me to pray more.”

Dear Annie,
Happy Sunday morning! I’m sure you’ll look great and
beautiful at church service later. Oh, how I wish I can be there with you in
person. To worship God and fellowship together with you. Good news, I will be
coming to meet you next month dear. I love you deeply!
I’ve been thinking about this theme of worship lately, my
dear Annie. The Bible verse that keeps ringing in my mind is Matthew 4:10, “Worship the Lord your God and… serve Him only.” As if
the Lord is saying to me – to us – that if we want to enjoy a better
life and better relationships we must enjoy God by worshiping Him seven days a
week, not just on Sundays. Billy Graham puts it this way: “We are never more fulfilled than when our longing for God is met by His
presence in our lives.”
God has a wonderful plan for our lives, and an important part
of that plan includes the time that we set aside for praise and worship Him. Every
life, including ours, is based upon some form of worship. The question is not
whether we will worship, but what we worship. Andrew Murray has a suggestion: “Each time, before you intercede, be quiet
and worship God in His glory. Think of what He can do and how He delights to
hear the prayers of His redeemed people. Think of your place and privilege in
Christ, and expect great things!” If we choose to worship God, we will receive
a bountiful harvest of joy, peace, and abundance. But if we distance ourselves
from God by foolishly worshiping earthly possessions and personal
gratification, we’re making a huge mistake.
Right after I thought of these things about worship, my
love Annie, I resolute to worship God today and every day. To worship Him with
sincerity and thanksgiving. To write His name on my heart and rest assured that
He, too, has written my name on His. Isn’t that awesome?! Your name is also on
His. Ah yes, worship is not meant to be boxed up in a church building on Sunday
morning only. On the contrary, praise and worship should be woven into the very
fabric of our lives. So I ask myself: do I
take time each day to worship my Father in Heaven, or do I wait until Sunday
morning to praise Him for His blessings? My answer to this question every day
will, in large part, determine the quality and direction of my life. I know
that when I worship God with all my heart (or not), it will affect not just my relationship with God, but also the way I treat others, especially
you, my dear. I want to be the best boyfriend for you. Let’s worship God
accordingly.
Btw: Dear, reading the
Word of God is also part of worship. Don’t forget to eat this Food.
Everything else can wait,
but don’t neglect this ya.
Again, Happy Sunday
morning! J
Akui nyalam ika,
