To God be the glory.
This is not so different from my mantra “I am third”. It is central to my faith and, thus, why and how I live my life. It is a reflection of my understanding of Purpose. I believe that each of us has a role and a purpose that extends far beyond our human sight. I believe that we must look beyond what we can see. I believe in trusting where I am and where I am going. I believe in my path. I believe in the interconnectedness of all of us. I believe that I cannot fully grasp what is happening right now, but that in time my path will be revealed.
“To God be the glory” also suggests that I do not have sole claim on my success. I am here for a greater purpose than serving myself. Our perceptions of God may differ, but Spiritually this is of no consequence. We are here. We are united in ways that are beyond our comprehension. It is to this connectedness that attribute glory.
Spiritually, I claim no glory unto myself. I can’t. I am so dependent upon forces beyond myself and the influence of others to believe that I alone am responsible for whatever I might accomplish.
I need to remind myself of this. Thus, “to God be the glory” is my mantra. It is a reminder of who and why I am.
Carpe momento!
