For who He is!

Here is the retreat theme song=) "for who you are"
Standing here in Your presence
Thinking of the good things You have done
Waiting here patiently
Just to hear Your still small voice again

Holy
righteous
faithful to the end
Saviour
healer
redeemer and friend

CHORUS I will worship You for who You are
I will worship You for who You are
I will worship You for who You are Jesus

BRIDGE My soul secure,
Your promise sure
Your love endures
always

My soul secure,
Your promise sure
Your love endures
always

Before retreat and during retreat my church sang this song many many times during worship..
I have been thinking about what it really means to say that "i will worship You for who you are."
whenever i sing the song..

In my point of view, i feel that to worship God for who He is is not easy...
Why?
Cause usually i will fall into the trap of worshipping God for what He can do, or what He does and not who He is.
Like many times, we only praise God and like rejoice in His name whenever we encounter something amazing that happens...or when God touches our lives, or when we pray for something and it came true!
When something just don't go the way we want them to and think it is right, we may blame God or just stop worshipping and claiming victory in His name...
i realised all these through several experiences that i have with God..
I don't blame Him, but i also don't thank Him..

Worhipping God for who He is means to put aside everything that He can do, the blessings that He can give to us..
It means to just rejoice in every situation we are in because our God is in control and He is so much bigger and more powerful..
It means to know Him better through the Bible so that we know exactly who He is..

Have you ever get treasured for who you are and not what you can do?
everyone can admire someone who is all talented in every area, the most popular, the cleverest..etc. (all these 'love' can be easily seen from the world) -everyone try to prove one another as to who is better and stuff..
However, would you rather someone loving you for who you are on the inside and not what you can do?
The measurement here is on the inside of ppl not on the outside.
And God is looking for that kind of love from us..
And this differentiates us from the other people of another religions (they worship their gods to ask for the things they want and need)

We must recognise that God deserves this kind of true love from us.
Because He is God.

Are you willing to worship Him for who He is today?

God loves you for who you are
