WHO IS A TRUE WORSHIPPER
True worship is not concerned about what others think of us
(2 Sam. 6:21-22). To worship Jesus, Mary was willing to be thought of as
immodest, even wasteful (John 12:3).
Some of us may feel pressured to be perfect when we go to
church so that people will think well of us. We work hard to make sure we are
thought of as being holy and perfect in every way. But the church is a place
where we can show our imperfections and not hide our flaws behind a facade of
perfection. In church, we should be able to reveal our weaknesses to find
strength rather than conceal our faults to appear strong.
Worship doesn’t involve behaving as if nothing is wrong;
it’s making sure everything is right—right with God, with our self and with one
another.
Search me, God, and know my heart. . . . See if there is any
offensive way in me and lead me in the way everlasting (Psalm 139:23–24).
