“A person will worship something, have no doubt about that. We may think tribute is paid in secret, in the dark recesses of our hearts, but it will play out. That which dominates our imaginations and our thoughts will determine our lives and our character. Therefore, it behooves us to be careful what we worship, for what we are worshipping, we are becoming.” {Ralph Waldo Emerson}
“Worship: The reverent love and devotion accorded a deity, an idol, or a sacred object.” {Online Dictionary}
“Are there false gods before which your child bows? What are the things without which he cannon0t be happy? What things other than God seem to motivate him? How does he finish the sentence,
‘What I really want, long for, desire, and esteem is . . . . ‘ ” {Tedd Tripp, Shepherding a Child’s Heart}
Do you agree that what we worship, we become? How does that affect how we relate to others and even how we parent?

Hey Love,
great question to ask ourselves. I love how you are influencing countless numbers around the globe out of your precious heart. Can’t wait to see what comes of all this!
With you!
I definitely think we become what we worship. We devote ourselves to that thing. And we know that if we worship God we become more like Him.
