Tonight one of my good friends sent me this quote. I think it is beautiful and astounding. If only we would remember that by being ourselves we bring glory to God...
"When God created the world he put a part of Himself in all His creation. In the example of trees, there is some aspect of Himself or His character in that tree, because it came from the mind of God. This is in the same sense that a painter puts part of himself in a painting or a poet into his poem. A tree is holy, because God put part of Himself in it, and so by being themselves they proclaim who God is and thus they are sacred. It is the same with us. Each human’s soul is unique and shows a part of God that no other soul on earth can. Thus when we stop seeking our false self and start seeking the soul of who we really are, we reflect the image of God inside us. A palm tree was created to be a palm tree. It takes no effort on its part for that is its soul. It was designed to be a palm tree, and God takes great delight in that, because it declares who He is and brings Him glory."
