Keep standing on Christ as your right standing with God. He is why you are right with God and we keep from sinning by trusting in this and by loving others as our self. Keep pressing forward to worship Him with more abandon. Take whatever steps you can in breaking those thoughts and ways that try to tie you down, whether it's a step forward, raising your hands, or stepping out into the isle or up front. If any thoughts or emotions condemn you for not doing enough or for doing to little, or for doing to much wrong, tell them that Christ is your right standing with God and not your own self or your own works. Boast in Christ. Whether you press forward into worship or not, God loves you. I just want to encourage you to take whatever steps the Lord gives you courage to take in moving forward in trusting Him with your life.
Just like in times past when the Lord has given you victory over the impossible, His grace will do it again, but, to move forward even more, He wants you to know that it's not because of your own efforts, but, because of [your righteousness(which/who is Christ)] that the victory is won. This knowledge will allow you to be free to love others as God has loved you. He also wants to remind you that He is never condemning you. That He gave His life for you and is interceding for you. If anything ever condemns you, whether man, Satan, or your own heart.... ..He is greater than all. You are the righteousness of Christ.
2Co 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
Php 3:9 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:
Php 3:10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;
Php 3:11 If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.
Bless you my friend, I stand with you in prayer for God's love to be perfected in your heart and for healing and salvation for those you are praying for. In Jesus Name, Amen.
(Please keep me in prayer to take the steps in Christ that I need to take too, and to press forward in worship more too.)
