So, while reading my devo today, it was a short command.
"Make a playlist of songs about God's heart; His heart for you, His people, the lost, the world, missions, the rejected, and anything else that you think of. Then listen to your playlist. Reflect on God's heart, then write down your thoughts and ideas. Thank God for who He is."
I began the devo, sort of dismissing it's overall purpose as pretty darn trivial. I mean, I read the Bible everyday, I know who God is and His heart for everyone and everything (*cough cough* BIG EGO)
But then… God started to work. I have never really taken the time to listen to the worship of other people, from their hearts, who they think God is.
And that made me wonder if I had really EVER taken the time to worship God on my own, besides at church.
So here are some songs with my notes from them. These notes include names of God, sacrifices He made, adjectives about Him, what He has done, among other things..
