• Glory to Glory •
2 Corinthians 3:18
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.

We are all being transformed into the image of God from glory to glory.
My God, I know that only your spirit can do this. Teach me to trust your ways. If my life circumstances become challenging, I wish to yield to you, by asking you to help me be my true self and begin a change. I know that I need to share in your sufferings, so that I can also share in your glory. I wish to grow into your “likeness.”’
Romans 8:17
Now if we are children, then we are heirs~heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.

My troubles sometimes feel heavy. But they are actually light and only truly in the moment…so I need to think about them as helping me to reach eternal glory.
My Lord, I thank you for hard times and I praise you for my troubles, because I know that if I can continually praise you, and give you thanks, even though I may be suffering, I am glorifying You. I know that my true thankfulness helps me to make the right steps to be transformed from “Glory to Glory.”
2 Corinthians 4:17
Our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.

Prayer
My Lord and my God…..I wish to speak to all those I meet with Psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. I want to sing and make music to you “My Lord,”’and always give you my thanks for everything, even my troubles, for I know that you are transforming me into your image from Glory to Glory. Amen.
