GLORY.

"and the glory of the Lord rises upon you." isaiah 60:1

i am constantly surrounded by the beauty of nature here in cape town. there are moments where i am completely overwhelmed by it. i was walking on the beach one morning as the sun was rising, causing a vibrant display of clouds over the mountains. truly the glory of the Lord was being displayed. i kept thinking i was made for the glory of the Lord! but then i felt the Lord say to me that nature is wonderful and it was created by him to display his majesty and splendor...but that the crowning piece of creation was when he made man...in his image. it hit me that there is nothing more GLORIOUS than watching the redemption of the Lord working in a person's life. witnessing the Creator restore and redeem and "transforming our lowly bodies that it may be conformed to His glorious body!" philippians 3:21. seeing lives of emptiness, brokenness and shame being filled with HIS glory!

now THAT is what i was made for! i was made to see the glory of the Lord rise upon his people!
