Proper praise

I’ve been thinking about Jesus a lot lately. Really trying to grasp the magnitude of what his coming here did for us and what a gift his death and resurrection really is! How much I’ve been forgiven from. How unworthy I am but how worthy he is of our continual praise and worship. I’ve been frustrated with myself because in my prayers I often go to him with more requests than I do praise. To tell the truth my praise and thanks always seem inadequate. I don’t know if it’s because I don’t know him good enough or if my weak human mind can’t come up with the right words. 1 Corinthians 13:12 says, now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror;then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part;then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. Even Paul couldn’t grasp it all. We just can’t fully get it here. We just have a glimpse of the greatness of God!! But one day we will see fully just who he is in all if his glory!! Then we will no longer be limited or bound in these bodies debilitated by sin. Our ability to praise will no longer be hindered!! We will no longer go to him with all these requests because everything we need will already be taken care of. Nothing will be between us and Jesus! We will fully know! Try to imagine that! That is why he came!! There is no topping that gift!! Until that day my weak praise is all I have to offer but I look forward to that day when we will all be able to praise him fully!! Oh what a sound that will be!! Thank you Jesus for coming!!
