I have been in the homes of people from various religions and seen the idols in their homes. People do various acts of worship such as placing fruit at the idol. However, the idols do not respond.
By contrast, thinking of being a Christian, I realize that worship is reciprocal. Why do I mean by that?
Worship is adoration, Worship is our expression of love to Jesus, to God, through song and through our lives. God does not need our worship. But he loves our worship because as imperfect as it is, it is our expression of love to him.
How can I say that worship is reciprocal? Zephaniah 3:17 says:
The Lord your God is with you,
the Mighty Warrior who saves.
He will take great delight in you;
in his love he will no longer rebuke you,
but will rejoice over you with singing.
Jesus sings over us. God sings over us. He expresses his love in many ways always loving and caring for us even singing over us. Many times I have awakened with a song in my spirit, a worship song. That is Jesus singing over me.
I think of a loving parent who sings to their child as their child goes to sleep or needs reassurance. That is an act of love by the parent. God is our heavenly father who sings over us. He wants a personal relationship with us and will not share us with any false gods.
What a blessing that God desires a personal relationship with us. A relationship of mutual expressions of love
