REFLECTION…

.

I will give thanks to You, Lord, with all my heart;

I will tell of all Your wonderful deeds.

In fact I should never stop thanking the Lord

for all that He has done in my life.

I should forever count my blessings,

and thank God for them,

but especially for the true faith that enlightens my life

and carries me through thick and thin.

.

At every opportunity He sends my way,

I should be a true witness for the Lord

and share with others His wonderful deeds.

I give witness

especially when I live and act and speak

like a true Christian.

.

I will be glad and rejoice in You;

I will sing the praises of Your name, O Most High.

We worship God as an expression of reverence and thanksgiving to Him.

But God also wants us to be obedient to Him.

He wants not only for us to love Him;

He wants us to act justly toward each other,

to show love and compassion to others.

In this way, we present ourselves to Him

as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to Him.

This is how we glorify the Lord, our God.

.

When we worship the Lord our God

with an obedient heart and an open and repentant spirit,

we glorify Him.

.

We worship the Lord our God and gladly sing His praises

also because it is our nature as Christians to do so.

We know full well

that our eternal destiny depends

on our worship of the true and living and glorious God,

whose one desire is to see us saved.
