2 Corinthians 3:18 But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.
"The trials of the past is preparation for the Glory of the future" (George Ritchie)
You know last year I think I had a year where I felt I was going from gory to gory. There are seasons in our life that things are difficult, but they all preparation for a greater Glory, greater future.
If you're experiencing gory, (not glory) keep going.
It's just preparation. It won't last, because you are made for Glory not Gory. Eventually you will come out as He always leads us in triumph.
You will again go from gory to Glory to Glory. You don't have to go back. My worst days now; saved and filled with the Holy Spirit are far greater than my best days, without Jesus.
There are different levels of Glory. When we first get saved there's a magnificent level of Glory. When we get baptised there's another, when we get filled with the Holy Spirit yet another.
There are beautiful adventures in the Glory of God.
You were made for Glory. You aren't made for gory, but Glory. But even in the gory it's shaping you to be more like Jesus. Even if there is a delay, a trial, some gory on the way, you are being transformed and will go from Glory to Glory.
Prayer:
Father thank You I am being changed by Your Holy Spirit. Thank You Jesus that You went from gory to gory for me. Thank You for wonderful levels of Glory for transforming me to be more like Jesus' today in Jesus' Name Amen.
