I just get my praize on. I mean, from the moment this day began…I’ve just been so blessed. I started listening to A Purpose Driven Life on tape (good way to use my time going to and from work). Then I get home and I put on worship music while I clean (another great way to make the mundane holy) and let me tell you i just felt the presence of God so over the top. What was I listening to? Israel and New Breed -Live from Another Level. Pick it up you won’t be sorry. The song, "So Easy to Love You" will have you reaching for snot cleaner in a big way. When you think about it…it is so easy to love God. I mean He loves us when we are unloveable. He cares for us when others throw us to the curb. He knows everything about us and still wants to use us to get HIS message out…I mean really…who do YOU know that would love you THAT much. And the biggest thing of all –He thought we were valuable enough to SAVE…to DIE for so He can enjoy US in Heaven one day. H-E-L-L-O…It is so easy to love HIM. The hard part is being obedient to what He tells us to do but that doesn’t mean we don’t love him. However that struggle we have to keep working with since the Word does say that "if you love me, you’ll obey what I command" (John 14:15 NIV) or "If you love me, show it by doing what I’ve told you" (John 14:15 Message). Of course, there are a whole lot where those came from. Bottom line, I know I could feel like I love Him…its so easy remember…BUT it ain’t really anything until I do what He tells me to do. Dag, that is so hard. But He honors our attempts, I really believe that because He sees our heart’s motivation and intent. That is why fakin’ it is sooooooooo lame. He KNOWS what you and I are all about.

My son walks in on me when I am singing like I am on the Hillsong Worship Team or something…crying ALOT and I tell Him "I am worshipping God, letting God know I love Him so much and you can do that ANYWHERE." He kisses me and then turns to ask…"Even in the bathroom" and I said "Well, thankfully, God won’t mind…even in the bathroom." At which point, he joined me in singing.
