True Worship

"Worship is the submission of all our nature to God.

It is the quickening of conscience by His Holiness;

the nourishment of mind with His Truth;

the purifying of imagination by His Beauty;

the opening of the heart to His Love;

the surrender of will to His Purpose -

all of this, gathered up in Adoration,

the most selfless emotion of which our nature is capable."


from William Temple's (1881-1944) Readings in St. John's Gospel. Thanks, Pastor Mike, for sharing this with me!!!
