Praise has the power to heal. Praise = admiration. To not admire would mean to miss out of
something. To admire is to simply be
awake, to have entered into the real world.
(Keller quoting CS Lewis)
This morning I started the day
listening to the Prayer (David Archuleta), a recording I admire greatly. Just hearing him sing, his voice joined with
the other vocalist, the instruments and the words . . . caused a response of such peace, joy
and a surrender - to be lost in the
moment. I’m just so grateful for the
experience. Such is admiration.
This is what praising our Father is
like. It touches something so deep
within us that we are changed by the experience. It’s not something we can muster up or make
happen. It’s something we can enter into
when we give Him the opportunity, to listen and just be present with Him, when
we give Him our focus and attention . . . He is there with us and we are
forever changed.
