Mercy falls from Your heart down on me
Glory streams from Your face so lovely
A million words could not describe
How marvelous Your perfect light
I adore You
I will sing it with all my heart
I adore You
I love everything You are
That my heart, beats to the rhythm of Your heart
That my eyes focus on Your beautiful eyes
A million tongues could not express
How beautiful Your holiness
My life is yours and will be forever
My love is yours

When I heard this song the other day, it made me remember how I feel about God. The word adore is defined above in several different ways. The very first definition really sticks out to me. Combine that with the definition of utmost and the song title would read this way: I regard you with the highest degree of esteem, love, and respect. Isn’t that perfect? I have always said I loved God, but the word adore takes it one step farther. The truth is, there is no one I love/adore more than God so it is the perfect definition.
Sometimes I don’t say know how to put into words what I feel about God. It seems impossible to give him the description he deserves. He is this all powerful, loving, wise being who cares deeply for his children. He is worth our adoration. And if we think about, God adores his children. I have heard several times that God can’t love his children anymore than he already does. His adoration is at its largest capacity and it won’t diminish. That is pretty incredible to think about.
God deserves to be regarded with the utmost esteem…the utmost love…and the utmost respect. And I find myself guilty of not giving him the utmost all of the time.
