AWAKENED HEARTS OF WORSHIP Response: Songs and Offerings. Practice makes perfect. We’ve heard that phrase in so many different aspects of life, but the reverse is actually true in worship. Perfection makes us practice. Only God makes perfect. In response to the perfection that God has given us, we practice lifting our eyes to see the world from a divine perspective. We give our praise to Him. We give our offering to those around Him, because as God so graciously blesses us with salvation, He removes our reservations.
