We are full of worship because of Who You are! Oh how we love You, Father. The many wonderful things that You provide for us and do for us mean so very much to us. We need and desire them. But it is YOU that we daily seek and insistently require! We know that our very being is locked into Who You are. It is such a comforting and secure realization to know that the God of the universe is our very own Father.
Today we just want to pour out our adoration for You. Your holiness is so amazing to us. Because we are such creatures of change, the fact that You never change is so important to us. You are consistently holy and never waiver from it. Your righteousness is such a force of protection for us. You always do right and this keeps us from evil. Your mercy and Your grace are places we run to when we have missed Your glorious mark and we thank You for these refuges.
We thank You for repentance that allows us to come back into proper relationship with You when we sin. Thank You that You promise to always be faithful and just to forgive us and restore us to Your righteousness. What can we say about Your love? It is so amazing! In fact, You describe Yourself as LOVE!
Thank You that love caused You to give Jesus for us when we had rejected Your instructions and eaten of the forbidden fruit. Love lifted me, when nothing else could help, love lifted me! Your teaching nature as our Father is so uplifting. The way You patiently take us through our lessons means so much to us. Because of the sin that surrounds us as a result of our original sin, we sometimes do not recognize or understand Your instructions. But You never fail to give us the same lesson in a different way. You are determined that we are successful and have the life You are dreaming over us. Thank You for Your diligence!
You have promised to never let us go and we are grateful for that. There are times when we feel so weak that we cannot hold on to You. But You hold us and breathe strength back into us. Thank You Daddy! We desire to be accurate representations of Jesus today. Holy Spirit, we give ourselves to You with joy! We give this worship and these praises in the matchless Name of Jesus, Amen.
