To possess a heart of worship is to continuously bask in the radiant glory of God’s presence, celebrating His goodness, grace, and unending love. Worship is more than a Sunday ritual; it’s an outpouring of gratitude, acknowledging God’s sovereignty, and a joy transcending circumstances. Rejoice in the Lord.
