She could not take my style of praise and worship any longer. As I sang, thinking I was genuinely worshipping and praising the Lord, she tapped me, showed her impatience, and signaled that I jazz up my act. Although, I didn?t quite respond to her prompting then, God alone knows how many of us are just trying to conform to similar expectations, instead of enjoying true fellowship with the almighty – from the heart.

?God is a Spirit; and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth.? ? John 4: 24 (KJV)

Express yourself to please your creator.
Let the Son shine in your heart daily.
