Worshipful Wednesday

We've been reminded often lately of how patient our Lord is with us. No matter how much we fail and how stubborn we can be He is always willing to work with us. He is always trying to refine our character so that we might become more holy.

In particular, I think He has been trying to teach me that I need to take the focus off of my needs and wants and concentrate instead on worshiping Him with my whole being. I'm trying to learn how to be more mindful of His presence all around me - by praising Him for His creation when I watch a bird fly or take time to look at the intricate design of a flower, by remembering to pray for the people I come in contact with instead of just going through each day with blinders on, by giving Him thanks for all things even when those things aren't what I thought they should be.

There is so much to learn. And of course, the more I learn, the more I come to realize how little I have truly grasped in my mind. But then I come full circle and God reminds me again of His infinite patience...sigh...all I can do is worship Him for who He is. Perhaps that is all He wants from me today...
