God: the Praiser!!

Okay, so I just find this amazing.

It's not uncommon to read or hear about people praising God. I mean come on, he's amazing. BUT did you know that GOD wants to praise YOU?!

"How can you believe if you accept praise from one another, yet make no effort to obtain the praise that comes from the only God?"
-John 5:44

How awesome is that?? He's the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords, the guy who created the universe... and he wants to praise YOU! Little insignificant you (no offense).

Let's put this into perspective. I don't know if guys really compliment eachother, but at least for the ladies, how special do you feel when one of your friends randomly tells you that you're beautiful? Or that you sing wonderfully? Or that you have great taste? Or that they love spending time with you? How about when an adult that you really care about says some of those things? Don't you just feel great? It can totally make your day! (at least it can mine).

Now these are just regular people. They may be older, or prettier, or smarter than you, but all in all they're equal to you; no better, no worse. If an adult says something, you feel a little more special because they're older, more respected. If the president were to compliment you, you'd be... ecstatic. Now imagine God.

He wants to praise you!!!!!

He wants to song you a song! He wants to dance for you! He wants to tell you that you're beautiful, or strong, or just plain amazing! God wants to praise you!!!

Remember that, and take it to heart. Make today a beautiful day to not only praise God, but to accept His praise too. He loves you. You're a child of God.

Taa Daa!!
