Are you a "true worshiper" or someone who simply likes "great worship?"
Is it God you worship or the experience of worship that you worship? How can you know the difference? When it comes to worship, do you have a consuming passion (a need to be fulfilled) or one consummate passion (a commitment to be poured out for the glory of Jesus)? Has worship become merely the musical/liturgical equivalent of your favorite ice cream, cut of meat, or Starbuck's coffee?
What your particular "broken cistens," your idols--the things and people that you rely on for life, fulfillment, and salvation? Your wallet? Boyfriend? Children? Computer? Refrigerator? Self-righteousness? Wounds? Ministry? Athletic prowess? Parents' approval? Sexual addition? Drugs?
Come to Jesus today, like the Samaritan woman and those who believed her story. Where else is there to go? "The Spirit and her Bride say, 'Come.' And let the one who hears say, 'Come.' And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who desires take the water of life without price" (Revelation 22:17).
