His Divinity and Our Depravity

Im standing there in C hall at thursday worship. We are praying over our hearts preparing to worship the Lord. The low hum of the air-conditioning, the constant chatter of the people during lunch. The guitar begins to play. All other sound is drowned out. Our circle seems to be somewhat off center, not exactly perfectly alligned, not perfectly the way we wanted it. Like our love. God loves us so much, His love is huge, His love is perfect. Our love is deceitful, it is so small, so imperfect. It is so amazing how God continues to love us so much even tho are attempt to love Him back is pitiful. And yet in our pitiful attempt, God is pleased. He delights in our failed attempts to show our love for Him. So as the guitar begins to take over, every other sound is reduced to nothing. Until all that is heard, is a guitar, and praises being sung by 40-50 people. At that moment, I realized. We were bringing heaven to earth. There was a divine connection between us and God, and it was hitting us right there on our campus. God showed me that even tho our attempt to express our love for Him is so feeble, He loves it, and it makes Him so incredibly happy that we cant even understand. The fact that we weren't afraid, even for that brief a moment, to say, "Lord, I love You. Thank You, for everything." For in every song that we sing, in every dance we dance, in every clap we clap. That is wat we say. No matter how you worship God, it all translates back into that one thing. Father teach us to love like You.
