Accept my freewill offerings of praise, O LORD, and teach me your rules.
Unless it is freewill, how can it be praise? If I mouth empty litanies, it is no more than the turning of a prayer wheel. But when the praise is the overflow of my heart, then You are honored and glorified; then the infusion of the Word into the very fabric of my soul. No turning back, no turning back.
