The key is that individuals must lose themselves (self-conscious giving way to being known) in the process, only to find themselves at the other end standing as one before the King.

Funny thing is it often is so personal (isn't that just like God), that the person standing next to you simply didn't, wouldn't, couldn't go there. That's why I like OC's approach. One worshipping heart to another says, "That's OK. I'm still glad you're here."

This weekend I found my notes from a Julie Meyer conference from several years ago, and she said this: "God is not moved that you are a worship leader. God is moved that you are a lover."
