Glorifying God


Your dreams mean nothing if you're not glorifying God.
 
    Ever have one of those Sunday's where you feel like your pastor is preaching directly to you?  I had such a day yesterday.  The topic was Glorifying God.  And not just glorifying God, period.  Glorifying God in literally every aspect of your life.  To the point where you can say "It's not about me being happy, it's about glorifying God."  We were created to give God glory.  One of the main points that really hit home for me was to glorify God through your suffering.  Remain thankful to God and do not become bitter.  It's so easy to become selfish when you're in pursuit of happiness.  Everyone does it, heck, I've done it.  I've made plenty of mistakes in my life while in the pursuit of happiness.  I have to ask myself though, am I glorifying God by my actions?  By pursuing what I'm pursuing, am I giving glory to God?  Will His name be honored?  Jana, glorify God instead of prioritizing 'happiness'.
