Quality Worship and God
We all like to wear new and beautiful clothes and apparels. We are choosy and specific about the wardrobe accessories. We have cabinet drawers or wardrobe to keep our apparels and clothes. We need adjustable shelves, compartments, hanging units, shoe racks to arrange them in separate racks. Why do we do this? Obviously, to lead an organized life! How about wearing a lounge wear when a casual would better suit an occasion! We never do such a blunder mistake because we love to get applauded. We like to be appreciated, "How stunning you look!" We work upon our looks, physical get up, conversing style and improve our outfit to make a good impression on others. Quality up-gradation has a positive impact on us and our life. Similarly, enhancing the quality of worship has a good spiritual impact in our life and our surroundings.
Why should the quality of worship be enhanced?
How does it feel to experience the presence of God?
Let the light within you shine, do not let it go dim, share your love and spread peace wherever you go. Make yourself ready to receive God. Organize your life and your relationship with God. Plan your spiritual life, plan out different activities for different seasons and auspicious days. Make life interesting, meaningful and worth living.
Why should the quality of worship be enhanced?
- If a prayer is said or a mass is attended with half-heartedness, with diverted attention, or without much dedication and honesty, it means the person's interest lies more towards ‘physical presence' than ‘spiritual enlightenment.'
- To let the light shine within us constantly, we need to ignite our inner self with the fuel of enlightenment. When we are in unity with God, we experience the true joy of living life on earth with peace, happiness and contentment.
- Quality of meditation helps us to refine our individuality. We get filled with the spirit of love for God. We become more receptive about His teachings. The seed of the gospel gets deeply ingrained to let the love and word of God bloom within our heart and soul.
- When we offer prayer with repentance, forgiveness, fasting, meditation and concentration, the all powerful God is likely to get pleased and bestow upon us special blessings and love! We are likely to experience His sacred presence near us.
How does it feel to experience the presence of God?
- I consider those people to be really lucky who have experienced the presence of God. It is not easy to face Him when He is right in front of us. At times, people realize His presence after He has moved away.
- His love for mankind is infinite. His unconditional love is beyond explanation. His sacrifice and intimate relation with mankind will surround you in the warmth of His love which you will experience in reality. This is what you experience when He is near you. You may feel a sense of guilt within you. You may tremble or shiver inadvertently. You may feel your bones melt. Try not to get frightened at such a time and start praying.
- You may find your tears roll down your cheeks. This response is an obligation and gratefulness which the element tries to exhibit in reverence and adoration of its creator. Man is made of flesh and soul. The soul may fill you with the spirit of repentance. Repentance for the past sins is good for spiritual growth and progress towards a fantastic life.
- The purity and power of the Almighty God may leave you dazed for sometime. You will shortly realize and feel blessed, be more at peace, happier and content. Thank God and praise Him!
