Your Glory

Dear Lord please be with us this day and may the Holy Spirit please guide and protect us in every thought and deed as we tread the paths of this day. Thank You for all of the great gifts that You have given us and please forgive our sins the same as we forgive the mistakes of others. Help us find enlightenment in our thoughts and new approaches to our challenges that can help us learn more of Your plans and intended purposes for our lives. Please show us the need to be humble and not be trying to exalt ourselves, but be trying to show others Your Glory that has brought these great gifts to our humble lives. In Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen. 

Quotation:*
We are made for the splendor of celestial glory.  If the Lord also reserves for us a little honor on earth, this is of no value at all and perishes quickly if it is not of God. If the Lord on the contrary, disposes that the value of our life be entirely hidden in Him it would be ridiculous to look for anything else. --Pope John XXII

KJV*
Joh 17:1 These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: 
Joh 17:2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. 
Joh 17:3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
Joh 17:4 I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.
