“Glory to the Father who created us; glory to the Son who redeemed us; Glory to the Spirit who sanctifies us; glory to the most high and undivided Trinity, whose work is inseparable, whose kingdom abides, world without end. Amen.” - Augustine
We created beings have no glory of our own in which to boast.
No saving work of our own in which to trust.
No ability of our own to grow up into godliness.
And what a comforting reality that should be!
“Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name give glory,
for the sake of your steadfast love and your faithfulness!” - Psalm 115:1
Father, forgive our attempts at earning, achieving, or possessing our own glory. All glory belongs to You, and You alone. Amen.
Amen,
