I started listening to MercyMe’s song “Cannot Say Enough.” The lyric, “but still we praise our Savior in spirit and in truth, for we cannot say enough,” hit me deeply. It made me pause and ask myself: Am I truly worshiping Jesus in spirit and in truth?
As I reflected, I realized that through everything I’ve been walking through — health battles, waiting seasons, misunderstood moments, and the weight of navigating life after the injury — You’ve been teaching me how to worship You not just with my words, but with my actions, thoughts, and choices.
I see now that I’ve been worshiping Jesus in truth in ways I didn’t always recognize. Every time I spoke honestly — even when my voice trembled, even when I felt misunderstood — I was honoring Him. Every time I stood firm in what was right, even quietly and without fanfare, I was choosing truth because He is Truth.
When I chose humility over anger, when I refused to let bitterness take root even though my heart hurt, I was worshiping Him. My life was saying, “Jesus, You matter more than my comfort, my pride, or how others see me.”
When I stopped to pray before responding, or asked the Holy Spirit to help me speak wisely, I was worshiping Him in truth. When I measured my decisions against Scripture instead of my emotions, I chose His voice over my feelings.
Even in the moments of confusion, exhaustion, and being misunderstood, I see now that standing in grace has been an act of worship. I didn’t stand because I wanted to fight — I stood because I wanted to remain faithful. I stood because Jesus called me to trust Him.
And when I’ve been transparent — in my devotionals, in conversations, in my weakness — I have worshiped Him truthfully. Not pretending to be strong, but letting His strength show through my weakness.
Forgiving those who hurt me, praying for those who misunderstood me, and surrendering my desire for control — those have been some of the deepest worship moments of my life.
I may not always have the words. Some days all I can offer is tears, or stillness, or endurance. But He sees my heart. And I know He is pleased — not because I’ve walked perfectly, but because I’ve chosen to honor Him with truth, even in the fire.
