Do Worship!

Nothing can compare the great comfort of His presence.

Worshiping Him..

God who loves me with such an abundance love and grace.

No one loves me like You do, God!

You teach me how love, how to forgive.

What is this great love?

Who deserve for it?

Mom always tells me to sing a praise song, sing a worship song, which I didn't really understand how and why I need to do so. Whenever I called her through phone because we were in the different cities, and told her how stress I was, how tough my life was, what my problems were, then guess what she said?

"After this, you go and sing a worship song."

"What Mom? Don't you have any other advice? I mean, I said I'm having a problem in my school, why SINGING is the answer?? I sing songs in the church once a week, more or less 45 minutes each time, wouldn't they be enough?"

I knew my mom was a person-who-appreciates-music-very-well. She was the one who used to teach me and my brothers piano (only for several years, until we became more pro than her, hohohoho). But I also knew my mom was a newborn Christian! How come she spoke like that; I didn't even remember my pastor reminded me that frequently, to SING.

"Mom really likes this song, 'Allah Kuasa'."

She started to sing. But there was something different, I could feel that.

"Mom keeps singing this at anytime, until Mom memorizes every single word and sings it without mistake. Mom puts the lyric of this song on the cashier table, so that whenever nobody is coming to pay stuffs, Mom starts singing this song. You know, your Dad, Mom told him to do so. To keep singing, keep worshiping Him. Make it a habit, and you will feel the difference, do you understand?"

I kept silent, quite shock for such a response from a mother to her daughter.

Now I understand what she meant.

You come to the Lord, bring your heart, ask Him to satisfy you because you believe only Him who can turn the emptiness of your heart into joyful, thankful, and merciful heart.

Yes, for us, Christians, worshiping is our tool! Worshiping is powerful!

Nothing compares the great comfort of His presence, through the worships.

Truly, it is not how good your voice is, how well you can memorize the song lyrics; it is all about your heart. How thirsty your heart determines how great you will be satisfied by Him.

By singing and worshiping Him, I know that I am nothing. The more I worship Him, the more I feel "yes God, I believe there is always You who love me, no matter what. I let Your will be done in my life. I am waiting for those miracles, for those good things."

By giving our heart and our soul, Jesus is the one who owns our life. He takes control of everything, the whole of us.

Several days later....

".....and Mom reminds you to sing a worship song, because----"

"Yup. Sure I will."

"...... Wow, doesn't sound like you. Okay then."
