" Why Worship "
Worship is the highest forum of gratitude. To give of one's self, to our Creator. The human nature thirst for love and we are built with out that missing piece. So religion becomes a quest to fill that desire, Once we open our eyes that God is Love we can stop searching and be filled with this human nature, to love one another. It is only when we actively embrace the world beyond and the world within in their proper perspectives that we become capable of finally coping with and conquering our fleeting experience in this present world.
We as humans, don't want to face our own immorality, so a belief we have to prepare our journey of the great unknown, there has to be something more "personal" to deepening ones belief to worship a God that provides all our needs, specially when life has a way of driving our faith dangerously close to the edge. What we expect from God so often seems to contradict what we experience in life. We find ourselves wanting to ask: If God is good, then why did this happen? If God is all-powerful, then where is He now? If God loves me, why am I not happier? Richer? Why don’t I have fewer problems and more peace? If God is pleased with me, why don’t I experience more pleasure?
Unanswered questions like theses, threaten our enthusiasm and heartfelt commitment to our beliefs. We find our faith growing more stoic, our view of God less emotive. We are left to slug it out on our own, believing that the only relevant resources are in this present world.
I believe that man is fraud, and if we place our faith in man, we are bounded to be let down, so this is were we have to dig deep and ask what is the lesson in not getting what we want, are we being protected from a Higher Power, in being supplied with what we need.
We have, assumed that this world should be a pleasant and friendly place and that the answers to the troublesome questions of life can be found in the temporal realm. We have assumed that the answers to life’s dilemmas lie somewhere within us, among us, or within the realm of the immediate world around us. We are wrong! We need to worship God for all theses reasons, we can't make ourselves God, there has to to be something beyond ourselves. When we all get to Heaven, that's all we will be doing anyway, so lets start worshipping God right now!
