What can we give to God? He needs nothing from us.
Here is an excellent quote from one of my favorite books by Calvin Miller. A Requiem for Love.
"there is no such thing as 'giftless love.'
The very words accuse each other.
My gift to you is love, but
Worship is your gift to Me.
And oh, most glorious it is!
Worship always call me 'Father' and
Makes us both rich with a common joy.
Worship Me, for only this great gift
Can set you free from the killing love of self,
And prick your fear with valiant courage
To fly in hope through moments of despair.
Worship will remind you
That no man knows completeness in himself
Worship will teach you to speak your name,
When you've forgotten who you are.
Worship is duty and privilege,
Debt and grand inheritance at once.
Worship, therefore , at those midnights
When the stars hide.
Worship in the storms till love
Makes thunder whimper & grow quiet
And listen to your whispered hymns.
Worship & be free."
