Praise

Never has there been a better day to worship God than today.

As I have sat through Bible class, church, and football games today I have come to realize something. God deserves to be praised right now. God has been teaching me to praise him more than ever before. Church has been become more to me today than it has ever been in the past. Before church was a ritual and a job, now I see it as a joyful experience of praise. I am choosing to praise him in my classes trough doing my assignments. I am choosing to praise him as I go work and help old ladies try on their favorite shoe, the Shadow 6000. I am choosing to praise God by reading books that have motivated to learn a different way. I am choosing to praise God for who I am, what I have done, and what I am doing with my life.

I am not perfect. I am not always a committed follower of Christ. Especially in the past few months I have felt extremley far from God. Yet, today I praise him for the goodness in my own being. I choose to praise him for my imperfections and strengths. God is in me. God is moving in my heart, mind, soul,and strength. God is humbling me and for that I am thankful. I am choosing to praise God with how I talk and walk. I am choosing to praise God in the fact that I want to be a friend to the people who are alone.

I am having such a difficult time with myself alone that I am motivated to spend time with everyone and any kind of person. God wants to use me and for that I praise him. Even though at times I felt alone I praise him. God is doing a good work in me and I pray this has been an encouragement to you.
