The Glory of God is...

"The glory of God is man fully alive!" - Irenaeus

Jesus said, "I have come that you might have life, and have it to the full."

So, having a full life fulfills what Jesus wanted for us! He wants us to have a full life. If we are created in the image of God, then being fully alive is being more fully like God!

This is really cool. That the glory of God in us would be us fully alive! Not people settling for circumstances- "I'm here, just because this is how things worked out." NO, we are to do the one thing that God created us and asked us to do. To live this day fully loving Him, loving people, giving of our lives, giving our stuff away, and coming alive today.

It is not about doing stuff, or doing great things, but coming alive in Him today and being fully alive!
This is what it means to glorify God!
