Holding Nothing Back
Over a couple of days last week, we had a visit from a Malaysian worship team. In a series of worship workshops that followed, the bunch of young people who attended, myself included were bought back to the heart of worship.Sometimes I stand frustrated in the front of a crowd, trying all my skills and techniques to get others to sing. Trying to move emotions, change hearts. When the people before me chat amongst themselves or fail to sing, I sometimes take it as a personal attack. It's the wrong attitude to worship and leading worship.
It's a good reminder to bring myself back to God, and have none of this pride, this leaning on my own abilities get in the way. I'm going to hold nothing back, I will choose to worship freely because God is worthy of all - everything-
