John 4:23

But the time is coming, and is already here, when true (genuine) worshipers will worship the Father (bow down in humility, fall on their knees; figuratively kiss his hand in reverence) in spirit and truth, for such worshipers the Father seeks (looks for, wants). [God is more interested in our worship than in the place where we worship.]
