Father God dances in wild circles, making shrill noises and shouting for joy when I look at him. Who would of guessed? I had him pegged as a pretty stoic dude, sitting in a throne and demanding relentless worship. Yeesh, maybe that's why I hated long worship! The whole time I was trying to please God and earn his love. Boy did I have it backwards. His love for me, His character and creativity inspire inspire me to worship! He let's me see His glory and all I can do is hit the floor in awe and shout, "God! You're awesome!"

He's drawing me deeper in love with him. He's showing me how worthy He is of my time, energy, money and dedication. I'm not giving it away with regret either. He's showing me how much I get in return. I had this so backwards. I didn't understand. I didn't see his goodness. It's like trading your ham and yellow mustard on crusty white bread for unlimited Portillo's and Lou Malnati's, French pastries, fine wines, cheesecakes and Red Vine Licorice. It's NOT EVEN CLOSE!

Jesus' got it. I was tricked. So fooled that I thought Jesus had the ham sandwich. Not true. The world offered me McDonalds. I thought it looked so good. Turns out, when you eat it all the time, you die! It doesn't satisfy, it makes you fat and hate yourself. But Jesus was after me. He's always been after me. He's got me on a new diet; I'm getting detoxed. He's invited me to the banquet and the food is so good. So good!
