You don’t know the cost

#alabasteranointing #chosenconcreteing #pentecostal #womeninspiringwomen

6/29 Edited to

Worship is often seen as an outward expression of faith, but few truly understand the depth and cost behind it. From my personal experience, worship is not simply about singing songs or attending services; it is a journey marked by pain, surrender, and intimate moments fought in secrecy. Like the alabaster box mentioned, which symbolizes precious sacrifice, every praise we offer to God carries a story worth honoring. In times of hardship, I found that worship became my refuge—a way to pour out my brokenness and surrender fears. The battles I faced were often hidden from the public eye: prayers whispered in the quiet of the night, tears shed without witness, and the daily fight to hold onto hope. These experiences shaped my praise and made it authentic and powerful. Understanding worship in this fuller context helps us appreciate the true price paid to maintain spiritual strength. It reminds me that judging the worship or faith of others without knowing their journey risks missing the profound sacrifices behind their praise. Every act of worship is unique and precious because it reflects what God has brought us through individually. If you find yourself struggling to express your faith or feeling that your worship is not enough, remember that God values the heart behind the offering. The alabaster box was broken and poured out—it signified complete surrender. Embracing this mindset transformed how I worship, as I realized that pain and sacrifice are integral parts of a sincere spiritual life. Your praises are precious because they come from a place of true experience and transformation, even when unseen by others.
