Day 8 of the 40 day spiritual journey from the book '
The Purpose Driven Life- what on earth am I here for?' by Rick Warren
My insights from Day 8:
I think we all suffer, some more than others, and at different times and
phases in our lives, in feeling insignificant, unworthy, unloved etc
Rick says we are so important and valuable to God, that once we fully
understand this, we will never feel insignificant again.
And he links our ability to have pleasure, through our senses, to
being made in Gods image, to enjoy!
I like the notion of enjoying the world and being thankful to your
understanding of God for it.
I also agree that a sense of worship should not be about 'how much
pleasure I got from the worship at a certain time', its not supposed
to be for our benefit, but it should be a natural, inbuilt, and
continuous part of our daily lifestyle.
Nonetheless, if you genuinely worship the right way, and if you also
enjoy the act of worshipping - that's great too!
