Worship

I love that there are so many different types of worship. I am a huge fan of the butterflies in my stomach in a worship service, but I think that the most powerful type of worship is the kind that gives me the calm feeling. It's like there isn't a thing in the world that I have to worry about. The kind of worship where God takes away all distractions and gives me the peace, the quiet, and the time to do nothing but be in the center of a room filled with nothing but the presence of God. A room so full that it feels like the oxygen has actually been replaced by God himself. I can't do anything but breathe Him in; when I do, not only does he fill my lungs, but my mind, my heart, my soul. It's perfection in a single moment.

For that moment, God is holding me in His arms. I am protected. I am safe. I am His child. I am the one that he is pouring His love into. For that moment, it's just God and me.
