Usually life’s greatest gifts come wrapped in adversity

Worship Starts with Seeing

Worship starts with seeing God. It’s an amazing thing that we get to see God at all, since no worship happens until we get a glimpse of God. seeing God begins with God, ’cause thankfully, God wants to be seen. And I am oh so happy about just that — because if God didn’t want to be seen, I would never see Him. And if I never saw Him, I would never worship Him. God wants us to know who He is :)

Worship is also a celebration of grace. Every second, of every hour, every day of our God-given lives is a celebration of grace. Every time we sing it’s a song of grace. every melody, every harmony, is a music manifested in grace. Every beat, every rhythm, every breath is a breath of grace. Every glimpse of God is a glimpse of grace.

For us to know God means grace. For us to lead people of God means grace! For there to be a people of God means grace; for there to be songs about God means grace. For there to be a gathering of believers like means grace!!

Nothing happens apart from the grace of God. And I think the degree that i am facedown in my life is to the same degree that i am aware of the grace of God.

I’m not in that place of saying, “we’ll were gonna meet with God, isn’t that great!” like we’re gonna meet with God like we’re gonna meet with somebody else… but I just hope that we would just carry in our hearts the amazement, the continual unfading amazement of what it means to be invited into the presence of God! –invited to know Him and to see Him as He is, it is about grace.

And we just breathe in and out the grace of God, every moment we are alive.

    Seeing you - Matt Redman

    This is a time for seeing and singing
    This is a time for breathing You in
    And breathing out Your praise

    Our hearts respond to Your revelation
    All you are showing, all we have seen
    Commands a life of praise

    No one can sing of things they have not seen
    God, open our eyes towards a greater glimpse
    The glory of You, the glory of You

    God, open our eyes towards a greater glimpse

    Worship starts with seeing You
    Worship starts with seeing You
    Our hearts respond to Your revelation
