About This Quote
The idea that worship is the child of fear is so true. Worship is a way to celebrate and appreciate the creator of all things. Worship is a way for us to help others, but also to help ourselves. Those who worship God are thankful for what they have, while those who worship money or power are not thankful for what they have. In order to worship the Creator of all things, we must be lifted up enough to see him in everything we do.
