this totally made me day. going into a new season in life, i've just asked this question, lo and behold in just a few minutes literally... God answered. AMAZING.ΓΌ
excerpt from John Eldredge's Waking the Dead (emphasis and comment added):
God endowed you with a glory when he created you, a glory so deep and mythic that all creation pales in comparison. <imagine how a breathtaking sunset or a magnificent landscape can be so dull compared to me... totally mindboggling>
A glory unique to you, just as your fingerprints are unique to you,
just as the way you laugh are unique to you. Somewhere down deep inside
we've been looking for that glory ever since. A man wants to know that
he is truly a man, that he could be brave; he longs to know that he is a
warrior; and all his life he wonders, "Have I got what it takes?" A
woman wants to know that she truly is a woman , that she is beautiful;
she longs to know that she is captivating; and all her life she wonders,
"Do I have beauty to offer?".......
"Those he justified, he also glorified" (Rom 8:30). And "in the meantime, "you have been transformed, and you are being transformed. You've been given a new heart. Now God is restoring your glory. He is bringing you fully alive. Because the glory of God is fully alive.
