The Glory God Deserves

The beauty of His creation

"Give to the LORD the glory he deserves! Bring your offering and come into his presence. Worship the LORD in all his holy splendor". (1 Chronicles 16:29 NLT)

God deserves our praise and to be glorified in us. Other should see and be attracted by His Glory reflected in us. As thanksgiving for the grace of salvation, we should lead others to Him and build up the Church.  We should love, trust Him and peg our hope on Him. God deserves the offering of our hearts and all that he has given to us. He is Holy and we should approach his throne in humility and the cleanliness derived from repentance of our sins.

What has the Lord done for you? He created you uniquely and wonderfully. Appreciate Him by living a life that glorifies him, always joyful in His service.

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us most. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and famous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in all of us. And when we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”Maryanne Williamson (Used by Nelson Mandela in his 1994 inaugural speech)
