I imagine his glory is like the sun.
Beautiful, bright, but our human eyes can only take so much before we are blinded by it's fullness.
The sun brings light, and safety.
It is always present.
Even when dark falls, the sun hides behind the moon
but the sun is still the light of the world.
The sun gives energy to all living things.
It energizes photosynthesis.
It gives life to the plants and animals that we consume.
It can not be bought, or contained.
But exists for all to stand in wonder of.
The sun is at the center of our human existence.
The sun is always sure to rise.
So is God's glory.
I fall so short of the glory of God. He is overwhelmingly vast, and entrancing.His glory is so huge.
"For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of The LORD, as the waters cover the sea" -Habakkuk 2:14
Notice how it says the knowledge, because the earth is filled with his glory- but you must discover it. My walk with God is a continual path of realizing what he has already done, what I already possess. We, as the creation are held by a God who loves us.
"Bring all who claim me as their God, for I have made them for my glory. It was I who created them." -Isaiah 43:7
We are not just people, we are extraordianry. Because we were made with purpose by a God who is extraordinary.
"NO child on earth was ever meant to be ordinary, and you can see it in them, and they know it, too, but then times get to them, and they wear out their brains learning what folks expect,
spend their strength trying to rise over those same folks." -Annie Dillard
I am a stranger and alien to this world. I await, fervently hopeful for the wedding that will take place at the end of my life.
"See how very much the Father loves us, for he calls us his children,and that is what we are! But the people who belong to this world don't recognize
that we are God's children because they don't know him" -1John 3:1
I am going to Nepal. I can't wait to see more of God's chosen people.
I can't wait to sit with them, before this God that they have never heard of.
I will tell them about hope.
I will tell them how very precious and loved they are.
I will tell them about The God who can not be contained, and who's glory is underestimated.
And I will tell them I love this God, and love him even more because I can not figure him out.
I will show them how this God moves.
And there we will sit together, in awe of a God who called us into his light.
Into his shekinah glory.
