Every creature gives all blessing and glory to Jesus.
How do WE see Jesus?
Do we see our sin as simple mistakes or as the punishment that Jesus suffered to redeem us?
Do we see our worship as just another song or as a privileged encounter with the savior?
Do we see our calling as an obligation or as a beautiful opportunity to invite others into a relationship with the King?
