Think about this quote; "Your life is shaped by the end you live for. You are made in the image of what you desire" (Thomas Merton). So, what are you being made into? What is it that you desire most? What occupies most of your time, your energy and your thoughts? We all know the right answer, what should be... but few of us can honestly provide this answer. Why is that? If God allowed himself to be known in a physical sense, much like we can see and respond to the President, the Pope or even the Queen of England it would be much easier to purposely live for God each and every day. The population of Christians world-wide would be incredible! So why doesn't He reveal Himself in this manner? I suppose the answer might be similar to the answer of "why are we here?". Why not simply skip the earth with all it's pain, struggles and fears and birth us in heaven? While you think about that, consider this: would you rather have an arranged marriage, or discover the love of your life after discovering who you really are? Now go back and work on that first question...

- My goal is to seek and follow God's will, to continually strengthen and deepen my relationship with Christ, and to help others discover the experience of salvation now by accepting His grace. The reason for this blog is to explore the concept of worship and understand how this verb intersects our lives.
