On your feet now—applaud GOD! Bring a gift of laughter, sing yourselves into his presence. Know this: GOD is God, and God alone. He made us; we didn't make him. We're his people, his well-tended sheep. Enter with the password: "Thank you!" Make yourselves at home, talking praise. Thank him. Worship him.

For GOD is sheer beauty, all-generous in love, loyal always and ever."

Psalms 100:1-5 (The Message)
