“Because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!” Galatians 4:6.
I’m meditating on this right now. The other day, I was weary and exhausted. So I began listening to worship music.
I needed my love and I needed to rest and be filled by Him. So I put on worship music and just got *lost* in the beautiful worshipful words to Jesus. And I could physically feel my heart burn as I was saturated in the truth of His beauty and grace as I worshiped Him. I could feel His love just be poured in me and my love for Him and desire for Him just fill me to overflowing. In that moment, nothing else mattered. In that moment, everything about Him and His love was intensified and I could have just melted; only He mattered, and my eyes were fixated on Him. The world washed away, and only He was present.
“God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.” John 4:24
This is what it is to worship Him in Spirit and in Truth. He poured His love into us by His Spirit, and our response is deep heart worship and yearning for Him, and a personal intimate affectionate relationship where we cry out, “Abba, Father!”.
“And hope makes us not ashamed; because the love of God is poured into our hearts by the Holy Spirit which is given to us.” Romans 5:5
This deep heart burning worship of our Maker is a testimony that we’re His sons and daughters and have eternal life inside of us. We have eternal life inside of us because we love, we cry out to, and we worship e t e r n a l life Himself.
