Actually, I take this as quite a compliment. Why should I be original when I can rely utterly upon the Word of my God? The praise that you talk about is not a burden in any way. My praise merely acknowledges the profound gratitude in my soul for the One who is my greatest desire. Lovers praise each other; men praise their cars or their favorite team or their favorite payer; they merely express the admiration in their hearts for what they delight themselves in. I praise my God because He is what I delight myself in.
You do not need answers, you need the Blood of Jesus. I praise my God specifically because of what He has done for me:
Isaiah 52:14 Just as many were astonished at you, So His visage was marred more than any man, And His form more than the sons of men;I cried out to Him (not my idea of Him); He saved me; I praise Him; He gets the glory: Psalm 50:23 Whoever offers praise glorifies Me... From the depths of my soul I show the gratitude I have for Him.Isaiah 49:16 See, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands; Your walls are continually before Me.
Sorry, I apologize to both of you, I realize you both mean well.
Why should you apologize for complimenting me?
