Scripture Of The Moment: "My heart is stirred by a noble theme as I recite my verses for the king; my tongue is the pen of a skillful writer." (Psalm 45:1 NIV)
This is one of my favorite Scripture verses. It is my desire to praise and worship God in a way that truly welcomes, blesses, and glorifies Him. I want to set a place for Him at my table. I want to be able to sing and speak and write of my love for Him in the way He deserves. I want others to know His worth. I know that He will not love me more if I am able to do this, nor love me less if I am not, but there is something within me that cries out: "Oh My God and King, help me to praise You more! Help me to give You worship that is worthy of You!" And so I sing to Him, or I write a love letter or poem to Him. I want to give Him the best that I have, because He is worth it. Others may hear or read my words and decide they are, or are not, good enough; that is okay. They are not really my targeted audience. I have an audience of One, and His opinion is what matters most. If my praise and worship draws others to God, I am grateful, but even that is not my primary motivation. My heart is stirred by the worth of the kindest, most loving, and most gracious Person I could ever know! He is not only the recipient of my theme, He is the theme!

I'm with you, sister.
I heard you today during worship. Made me want to come over there and worship with you, but I was already worshiping with someone else. Soon, though, soon.
I am the Lord's minstrel, singing songs for the pleasure of my King.
Peaj, that is funny, because I saw you worshiping with "someone else" and I thought of going over there to worship with you! Blessings on your head my brother and fellow minstrel for the Lord!
