Letting God Shine Through Us!

Psalm 115:1

Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name give glory,
for the sake of your steadfast love and your faithfulness.

John 7:18

Those who speak on their own seek their own glory; but the one who seeks the glory of him who sent him is true, and there is nothing false in him.

…

Words of Grace for Today –

…

It’s all okay to take on each day’s challenges, feeling overwhelmed, and working like everything depends on one’s own success.

It’s okay, but futile and in the end just senselessness.

To live (aware and counting on and trusting the gifts the Holy Spirit gives us) is the greatest adventure we can ever know.

Whether one faces enemies’ attacks, or others’ diseases, depressions, and perversions, or the struggle to have the basics for life …

Whatever one faces

the only way to actually face it all and live through it (not escaping some side road to a half life or less) is

to trust God’s promises

and with all one is and does and speaks and writes

to give God praise, to turn any and all glory towards God’s

in thanks

for life

and breath.

We sing hallelujahs, in thanks.
