Nobody knows or understand why you serve the Lord the way you do but you and him. Testimonies are given to tell a person story of how God has brought them through things, and by this testimony people can relate to why you serve God the way you do.
I have a place in my home where I go each morning to be in God's presence. It's in this place where I can hear his voice and I can turn all my heartaches over to him and reverence him for bringing me through. But sometimes when things come against you, you can't make it to the comfortable place where you normally go. That is when you just praise him where you are. I did this and caught all kinds of grief from a sibling.
I had just had a very rough day at work. It seem like I was just plain being picked on by everyone and it just wouldn't stop. I couldn't wait to get to my comfortable place at home and needed to be in God's presence. On the way home, I just started singing to God letting him know how much I Thank Him. I come from a family of singers, but I was not given this talent. I sing off key and I know it. But God does not care about how you sound as long as it comes from your heart.
Well, while I'm in my car coming home and singing off pitch praises to God, God shows up and comforts me. I gets out of my car and continue to sing to God, and as I enter into the house I am met by my sister, who ignores that I am worshipping, and she just continues to call my name. As I continue to sing, I address her by saying "hold on one second". She then begin to say outloud, if I only knew how I sound, I would be quiet.
After I finished with my song, I asked what it was that she wanted, and her answer was "that's ok now". She then start saying that she had never heard me sing and how off pitch I was. I told her that God didn't care about how I sound and she just happen to be in my presence when I was in God's presence.
I didn't tell her about my troubled day and why I needed to be in God's presense. She probably would not have understood anyway because all she heard was my terrible singing.
Whatever you may be going through, I encourage you not to let anyone take away from you being in God's presense.When you are in his presense, nothing else matters.
