Worshiping God with all your heart is an absolute force, one that leads you to total surrender. You begin to truly understand and see God's goodness so clearly. It's in those moments that your heart, your whole being, breaks before Him. Tears might flow uncontrollably because you realize just how good He's been to you. No one can truly say they worship God with their whole heart without that brokenness before Him. I'm not saying you have to cry or fall down, but it's about recognizing Him and committing to a life of holiness.
Praise and worship bring to mind all He's done, and that's where true songs of exaltation to the King flow from deep within. Praise includes gratitude and joy. God has done great things in our lives, and He will continue to work in amazing ways. Let's praise Him for His mercy, His greatness, and His love for us.
Psalm 28:71 says, "The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me. My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise him."
