Somebody said: “Giving glory to God is crying with your neighbor in grief, or putting your hands to work in the wake of natural disaster. A life giving glory to God is being just faithful.”
Giving glory to God must come in a natural way – in all places, at all circumstances, in all possible ways.
A couple of months ago, a man got off the train and immediately had a knife pointed at him by a young man, who demanded his money.
The man calmly gave the boy his wallet, then as the boy was leaving, he called out to him and said, Wait! Take my jacket as well.”
The boy stood shocked, and the man continued, “Friend, if you need money so badly, I figured you might need my jacket as well.”
Not only that, he took the boy to a nearby hotel and ordered him some food. After the meal was over, he said to the boy, “You have to pay for this meal, because you took my wallet. You have my money!”
Moved in his heart, the robber boy handed the wallet back. And as he was about to leave, this man gave the boy a 500 rupee note and said, “Jesus loves you.” This unknown man had just glorified God by showing his compassion in action.
Dear All, each one of us can recall various instances when we were able to glorify God in our own particular ways.
There cannot be a stereotype to glorify God. God has enabled each one of us with various gifts and abilities and expects us to glorify Him according to what is given unto us.
Let us make a resolution that from now onwards, we would not criticize others, but we will be joyous, cheerful and helpful to others edifying them in every way! Amen.
Let us try this from today…
