I see glory.
I see it when I wake up in the morning as I get to wake up
next to my smoking hot wife.
I see it when I go to wake my daughter up in the morning.
I see it when my kids run up to me and yell daddy!
Such joy I thank God for everyday.
I can honestly say none of this is possible without Christ
being in my life.
Some of you might role your eyes at this, but it is
completely true.
Hailee and I said from the moment we got together, said
Christ would come first and our relationship would come second.
We are not perfect and at times live for selfish reasons,
but our goal is to be more like Christ everyday.
This deals with our relationship with others and our
relationship with each other.
Marriage is not easy, it’s a challenge and it’s not always a
happily ever after story.
Hailee and I have had to work through some issues we have
had in the past, shoot, we even met with a counselor for a session or two.
No relationship is perfect.
Every relationship needs improvement from both partners.
It’s the same with faith.
Listen to what Jesus tells his believers in John 17:20-21…
“My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me
through their message, that all of them may be one, father just as you are in
me and I am in you. May they also be in
us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.”
This is following up scripture in which Jesus prayers for
his disciples and ends a chapter in John which is the longest recorded prayer
of Jesus.
Jesus was sent so that people might believe in God.
Without Jesus I wouldn’t have a lot.
I was angry, depressed, struggled with being who I was meant
to be as a person before Christ.
Without the love given by Jesus I would not have the ability
to forgive those people that have hurt me.
I am far from perfect, but Jesus came down and died for me.
He did the same for you.
The reason I am able to see glory everyday is because of
Christ.
Without his love and model of forgiveness there is no way
Hailee and I would be married or have three amazing kids maybe a fourth someday
;) (Hailee will get a kick out of that).
Jesus wants to show his love and forgiveness to the world,
to give us eternal life.
That is the greatest glory we could ever have….
Even greater then a Lions Super Bowl.
Have a great day.
