He rejoices in your praise!

Sunday was an amazing day... I got to church early as usual and before service we always pray for an hour. Well praise and worship started as usual but the atmosphere was not the same, as soon as Melody (she was leading praise and worship) opened her mouth and started singing the first song something happened, I said "My God please rejoice in the praises of your people" and that is when I saw Him. I saw Jesus, it was only for a few seconds and I only got to see His back because He was dancing, as we worshiped Him, He danced! It was incredible and so beautiful!

Many of us go to church and don't take praise and worship seriously, many of us don't close our eyes or lift our hands, instead we are looking around to see what the other people are doing. If we only knew that He takes pleasure in our worship and our praise, He delights in our singing and adoration. When I saw Him and He disappear shortly, I opened my eyes and I looked around and I wondered if any body else had seen Him? If they knew that He was in the house and He was taking please in our songs, He was dancing as we praised Him?! 

I love to worship and praise my God! And now even more so, now I not only know but I have seen that He delights in my praises and dances as I worship Him! God is incredible and deserving of all glory, honor, praise, worship. He is worthy of your time, devotion, love. He is worth of everything you have. So next time you are at church during praise and worship, close your eyes and give Him all that you have because He is dancing and rejoicing in your praise!


Sing praises to God, sing praises! 
Sing praises to our King, sing praises!
For God is the King of all the earth;
Sing praises with understanding.
God reigns over the nations; 
God sits on His holy throne.
The princes of the people have gathered together,
The people of the God of Abraham.
For the shields of the earth belong to God;
He is greatly exalted.
Psalm 47:6-9

Abandon Myself


I want to abandon myself for God, I want to come to a place where I no longer know who I am. The only thing that would matter is pleasing my father! the one who created me, the one who has set me free and broke the chains! I no longer live but Christ now lives in me! I want to be sold out for the Kingdom! I want to become DEAD! completely dead to self! I lay down my dreams, my hopes and desires! I want GOD to input HIS dreams and visions into my heart! I want to draw so close to His heart so that I may hurt for what He hurts for, so my spirit may be so sensitive to Him. That I may be able to hear the softest whisper, to feel His most gentle embrace! I want to get lost! I want to drown in His love! I want my hunger to rise daily! I will no longer be content at the level I'm at, I want more of His true divine love! It's time to rise! to rise and mark a difference, by prayer, fasting, and weeping! By becoming ONE with the father! my ultimate desire is to walk in the will of my father! To know that I am pleasing Him and making Him smile! For He is worthy! He is amazing! His love is unfailing! My Beloved the one who rescued me!
