Worship Him Who is Wonderful!

I wanted to just preach about and focus on God and not myself or others but one of His chief characteristics is His love for us. When I find out what He’s like I find out what we’re like because we’re made in His image and likeness. His love and passion to redeem us and bring us to Himself is so great it seems to come up every time we communicate with Him. My desire is to intently focus and fellowship with Him and when I do I find that He is intently focused on us. This is truly amazing! “What is man that you are mindful of him?” Now for us to start acting like God we need stop paying so much attention to ourselves and pay attention to Him like He pays attention to us! He’s so much more awesome and interesting anyway. What an honor and a privilege to be loved by God, and it’s pure bliss to be in love with Him! This is the essence of our existence, it’s excellent and extraordinary to know and worship Him who is Wonderful!
