If you want context, read the blog post, “Time To Fill You In…”
An image started to appear in my head. I imagined that as I was walking along a hall, I approached a ginormous white door. Peaking through the cracks at the bottom and sides of the door was a light that was both more majestic than the rays of the sun and an aroma that was more tantalizing than the sweetest bakery. I knew what was on the other side of the door. I turn the knob and opened the door to see a rotunda encircled by the Elders described early in Revelation. They are grabbing the crowns off of their heads and throwing them on the ground as they reverently worship the being of sheer glory that resides on the throne in the center of the rotunda. Every creature that has breath knows who that being is, it is the Creator of the universe, and Abba, my father. I walk towards the scene but stop at the back of one of the elders and peak around him to look at the Lord Almighty. I feel no need to get closer because I already know how privileged I am to get to be in this room watching these events. I find myself singing along with the elders but this time, no one is looking at me. There is no chance that no one is even paying attention to me but that is how I truly want it to be. Everyone is utterly fixated on the Lord of glory sitting in the middle. I start to sing. No… I start to belt. Every fiber of my being is rejoicing as it finds pure peace in the innocence and satisfaction of doing what it was made to do without any thought given to a lie or temptation. I want none of this attention. I genuinely desire to give it all to God so I continue to worship the Lord, completely satisfied with my humble position and wanting nothing more.
Jala, this is so beautiful; I could read it over and over. I love your heart, passion for authentic worship, and ability to share what the Lord has spoken to you. Thank you!
Thank you Makenzie:) Thank you for your encouragement, it means the world!
Ahhh worshipping God is just that……worshipping God. Just true vulnerable concentration and communion with Him. Whether alone or leading – never performance but going before Him in adoration and humility.
It’s beautiful to read how God is leading and calling you closer…and beautiful to read how you are following in Spirit and in truth. You are a wonderful and lovely young lady.??
