Just because.
From time to time I see some crafts or drawings left on my desk. It is my three-year-old Hannah's artwork.
If I ask her why she gave it to me, she would say, "그냥" (geu-nyang), which roughly means "Just because" in Korean. No particular reason. She gives her artwork just because she loves her dad.
That was my "aha" moment. I realized that my paise to God should be that way - giving thanks to God just because I love him. It reminded me of the hymn, "I Just Want to Praise You":
I just want to praise You,
Lift my hands and say: “I love You.”,
You are everything to me,
And I exalt Your holy name on high.
And I exalt Your holy name,
I exalt Your holy name,
I exalt Your holy name on high.
Do you love God? Let us come and celebrate together this Sunday. Our Hodgdon and Mars Hill church families meet at 9 a.m., and Houlton church at 11 a.m. If you are not able to come in person, you can worship with us online via the following links:
