What then is worship?
Surely it is the complete occupation with our blessed Lord in which self and surroundings
are lost to view.
When the soul pours itself out in adoration
and whole-hearted devotion.
Worship rises above the joy of sins forgiven and of gratitude for blessings and mercies,
and centers the thoughts and affections
upon a person –
not upon blessings but upon the Blesser.
It is as we are lost in contemplation of our adorable Lord, occupied with His intrinsic worth, His glories, attributes and virtues, His untold excellencies, His surpassing beauty,
that our souls are ravished and
our hearts are bowed at His feet
in adoration and worship.
