"So here's what I want you to do, God helping you. Take your everyday, ordinary life--your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking around life--and place it before God as an offering (which is our spiritual act of worship).
Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don't become so well adjusted to your culture that you fit in to it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You'll be changed from the inside-out.
Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity. God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you." (Rom. 12:1-2, Msg)
"So Jesus; are you saying that worship is expressed by me embracing what You have done for me?" "Did I hear you correctly?" "How?"

"So Jesus; are you saying that worship is expressed by me embracing what You have done for me?" "Did I hear you correctly?" "How?"
"Son, it's very simple." "Place your everyday, ordinary life before me as an offering?"
"Are you sure that's what you want from me?"
"Yes!" "Just place your simple sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking around life before me." "If you do just that you will be more focused on me." "You know you have spiritual attention deficit disorder, right?" "And by the way, please quit trying to fit into the culture around you." "That diminishes your worship son." "Pay attention to me instead of the world's culture around you." "And you will be amazed at how I change you from the inside-out!"
"Jesus, can I run this by you one more time." "Tell me if I have this correct?" "My sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and my simple everyday life is worship?" "Wow!" "If worship has anything to do with sleeping and eating I'm already a pro."

"Son, worship is attaching yourself to me." "Just embrace me in every arena of your life." "And as you embrace me, you will grow in your love for me, yourself and other's." "It's not just visiting me one day a week and singing a few songs about me."
"Okay, here goes Jesus." " I hope you don't get bored hanging out with me."
"Okay, here goes Jesus." " I hope you don't get bored hanging out with me."
"Stop worrying son and simply enjoy your day in me!" "And I will be worshiped and glorified in and through you!" Papa and Ron Ross
