Reckless Abandon

As you know if you read my blog frequently enough, I adore worship music. It is one of my passions. I think you can experience God on another level through the worshipping of him through music.
What sparked this blog was some worship I was watching this week from Bethel Music. I was fascinated with the way they worship. They are so open and free. I had one of my friends watch the video too and they didn't quite get it. But while I watched, I was envious. I want to be able to worship that open and free. They worship with "reckless abandon". By reckless abandon, I mean, they worship free from any constraints. They plunge in head first and don't think about what anyone else is thinking or feeling. They just want to bask in the presence of the Holy Spirit. I think that is what we are missing. We think that worship should be this "reverent, subdued" time. Don't get me wrong, there is a time for that. But I think we miss so much of experiencing his presence because we are too worried about making someone uncomfortable or someone thinking we are weird. There is freedom when we lift our hands, freedom when allow ourselves to express our worship in our own way.
Here is the link to one of the videos of this worship


After I watched this video, it just made me wonder what I might be missing in my worship experience by holding back. If I really let myself go, if I really worshipped with total reckless abandon, what would it feel like? What might God be able to do in me and through me?
Just a thought... Hope you enjoy the video!
