Worshipping God

When we say we worship God, what does that mean? I believe it would be beneficial to have that conversation with oneself. Honestly, examine all held beliefs. Sift out all the places where essential things have become all too mundane and commonplace, a mere cliché or catchphrase.
Jesus told the woman at the well that true worship of God is spiritual. It is not the conformance to cherished religious beliefs and dogma.
How can one worship God and be at variance with his creation? Is there a place in the life of one who worships God for hatred, malice, violence, war, and all other manner of atrocities perpetrated against humankind, other living things, and the environment that sustains us? Whatsoever we do to the least among us, we do unto God.
If we know someone who has grievances against us, try to make peace with such a one before coming to the altar to worship so our worship may be true.
Worship God today by honoring first ourselves in whom God lives and then all of creation, animate and inanimate, all of which bear the very essence of God, the creator we seek to worship.
