“For if what was going to fade was glorious, how much more will what endures be glorious.” -2 Cor. 3:11
There is much in this world that is glorious and beautiful. Think of the love between husband, wife, and children; the joy of deep friendships; the satisfaction of success after hard work; the sense of fulfillment from helping others… These, and all glorious things, are glimpses of the immense and eternal beauty of God. If the temporary goods of this life bring us wonder, amazement, and belonging, so much more can the everlasting glory of God. Let all of the beautiful, happy things you see and experience in life point your heart and your mind toward Christ. Imagine these earthly goods as daily signals and invitations from your Heavenly Father as He calls you at every moment into a closer relationship with Him. +
