Come Thou Font of Every Blessing
(click above for hymn)
.:: ~ meaning in life? ~ ::.

1) God is the author
2) There is a story-line for life
3) The first solitary response to the "story-line" is Worship - out of which Love flows

all that we see in diversity on the outside is only representing that which is going on, on the inside. life on the inside needs to be harnessed first - for worship is the submission of all of our nature to God. it's the quickening of Conscious by His Holiness -- nourishment of Mind by His Truth -- purifying of Imagination by His Beauty -- the opening of the Heart to His Love -- and the submission of Will to His Purpose. all of this gathered up in adoration is the greatest expression of which we are capable. the goal and life-script is not simply to "do good deeds" -- it is the sanctity of inner life -- the binding together of all of my propensity -- and when that is bound together -- worship can be expressed... Worship is the first response...and out of worship comes Love.
If Love is the legitimate response of a free heart -- it can never be coerced.
