Our Need

We would find it way cool if someone famous we loved actually showed up at our place to hang out with us. We’d tell everyone- at least I know I would- with lots of pics and postings to facebook about it! But the truth is God, the very creator of the entire universe knocks on our door each day and asks us to share life and hang out with Him. This is way cool when we really stop and think about it…
We all have many needs- food, shelter, air, love, safety… we need to have purpose and belonging and intimacy as well. This is expressed in the fact that we are all wired to worship. You may think well not everyone worships, heck some people don’t even believe in a higher power… and yet I believe we ALL worship…something. Maybe it’s another person, or wealth, or power, or performance… whatever it may be we all worship. And when it comes to the Lord we need to worship Him way more than He needs us to worship Him. Read that again… for it is important to understand that God is holy and powerful all on His own. We need to give Him glory for our sake- we were wired and designed for it- to have that connection and intimacy and belonging to our creator.
Though there are many kinds of worship- true worship begins at the foot of the cross. Jesus is our connector. His love and sacrifice is what allows us to worship a holy God. This need we all have is something we can share and do together. It is good and right to gather together in His name as one people. Let us acknowledge our need and reach out to others and invite them to share in this response.
None of us fully knows yet what God intends to do through crosslink but we can journey and pray and worship together as we seek God. He is the creator of the universe and He is big enough to meet your needs.
