Love & Worship

"...worship is a product of love."

When I read those words during breakfast, something rang true within me.  Two pages later, my mind was still ruminating on those six little words at the end of a sentence, in the beginning of a paragraph.  I can't tell you what else was written, though.  I didn't take anything else in.

So I pulled out my journal.  I wrote and prayed.  And after a page or two, didn't seem to be any further along.  Worship is a product of love.

First comes love, then comes worship.  I adapted that phrase to a silly children's rhyme.  So, if our hearts worship that which we love, then we should be able to identify our God (or gods) by the things/people/events we center our lives upon, our conversation topics, the thoughts that run through our heads... right?


Or, another take on it, worship flows freely from a heart that loves.  But again, what do I love?  How do people know what I love?  I'm evangelistic about the things I love.  If I've discovered a book or a recipe that I love, I tell everyone!  I love to talk about Mike. 

Hm.. there's something deeper to discover here.  I just know it.  Lord, open my eyes.  Show me the truth.  Teach me about my heart.  Give me insight into that which I worship.
