Has anyone ever called you this?

If a friend was thanking you for your kindness and friendship, how would they describe you?

I was reading the comments of one person to another a few days ago. One lady was thanking another for her encouragement and then remarked about her Christian faith, “You are a worshiper …”

That sentence stopped me.

“You are a worshiper …”

What a beautiful way to be viewed and thought of!

When others respond to your influence and impact in their lives, when others consider your character and stature, do they see a worshiper of God? Not simply someone who acknowledges there is a God; not only someone who professes a faith in God, but someone who worships God!

Is the love, care, and friendship you express to others the kind of rich connection that only comes from a vivid, animated worship of God? It certainly is the way the Apostle Paul admonishes us to live …

“Let the message about Christ, in all its richness, fill your lives. Teach and counsel each other with all the wisdom he gives. Sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs to God with thankful hearts. And whatever you do or say, do it as a representative of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through him to God the Father,” Colossians 3:16-17.

That’s what life looks like among those who worship without ceasing.

Is that you?
