This is the same struggle all Christians face. What is the right way to worship God? Do we worship Him in our homes, in a building, in small groups, in large groups? The answer is quite simple. Yes. We worship God in our homes, buildings, and small and large groups. But mostly we worship Him in our lives, all of our lives, every day. Every breath we take is to worship Him. If that is the case, then coming together should be no different. I cannot hide myself from Him, for He knows me, He knew me when I was being made. He knows how I was made, and that I am perfect in His eyes the way I am. I am physically not equipped with a wonderful singing voice. It is sufficient but I won't get a Grammy with it. I am also short of stature. I am overweight. I am...many, many other sorts of inadequacies, and God wants me still. He loves me as I am. He knows that in the long run, those inadequacies exist but are of no consequence, and He loves me for my soul, particularly when I, me, myself,devote my soul to Him and allow His Spirit to live in me and take those inadequaceis and make me strong where I am weak. God's voice is beautiful and it sings through me when I humble myself and share that voice. Instruments are fine, but they are a crutch to hide who I really am. Shouldn't I be more interested in sharing who I really am, rather than offering God something "better". or at least in my estimation? I am nmot perfect, but in God I am perfect. I reach for God, not perfection in and of itself. I am reaching for Him to create perfection in me, so that when we meet I can be perfect as He is.
