Glory displayed

"Keep me from the error of thinking thou dost appear gloriously when some strange light fills my heart, as if that were the glorious activity of grace, but let me see that the truest revelation of thyself is when thou dost eclipse all my personal glory and all the honour, pleasure and good of this world. the Son breaks out in glory when he shows himself as one who outshines all creation, makes men poor in spirit, and helps them find their good in him. Grant that I may distrust myself, to see my all in Thee." (Valley of Vision - "Love to Jesus") 

Just freshly encouraged tonight that true grace at work in our lives often comes in the form of trial, undesired circumstances, and even difficulty. But these are the places in our lives where our Savior is displaying His glory! May we distrust ourselves completely, finding our soul's satisfaction in Christ, as He works in our lives. Amen and amen!!!
