God is an initiator.
Let me rephrase:
God is the initiator.
He is the first to reach His hand out. He extends the invitation. He gently calls us by name to walk in the most intimate of relationships with Him. He'll meet us halfway...sometimes more if He deems it necessary. He'll never shout at us, never raise a fist in anger, never leave us, never walk away.
And what to we have to do?
Engage.
Walk.
Crawl.
Move.
Respond.
That's all it takes. That is worship to our Lord.
It is interesting to know that God is the one who initiates our worship. He will meet us anywhere, and he will use us at any point. He can use us in situations when we are feeling like crap, but the words you say are still breathing life into others. But,we need to take it a step further. It takes effort on our part in worship. He initiates, but if our hearts are not aligned with Him we will totally miss out on worship. That is part that takes discipline. He is always there initiating, we need to turn to Him and align ourselves.
