Quotes about Glory

Heaven is beautiful because it is the expression of that which is the perfection of beauty.

The transformation of Christ's bodily scars into badges of glory shows us what happens, even in this life, to our souls when we lovingly and trustingly offer our sufferings to Christ and unite them to His. He turns "deformity" into "dignity".

We fear God by honoring, reverencing, and cherishing Him.

Once He was smitten with a reed; Then He will rule the nations with a rod of iron. Once wicked soldiers bowed the knee in mockery; Then every knee will bow and every tongue confess that He is Lord. Once He received a crown of thorns; Then He will receive a crown of gold.

Once He delivered up His Spirit in death; Then He will be alive forevermore. Once He was laid in a tomb; Then He will sit on a throne.

I've had a lot of accolades throughout my career, but that hasn't really changed me. I know that comes with the winning.
