To Glorify Him

Glorify God that is our purpose in life

This weekend’s retreat was about what our purpose in life needs to be and that is to Glorify God. The whole weekend demonstrated how to give glory to God. Beautiful praises were sung through the most soul-searching, uplifting, giving most awesome music that could be gathered up for this event. We were guided into encouraging one another during group moments. During group moments each of us were being used in our own special ways to minister to the ones around us as we each played a role in our purpose giving glory to the most almighty powerful holy spirit. All were surrounded by opportunities to help serve one another, to share kindness in our actions and words.

Retreat Ramblings……

I heard the words “set us apart from the rest of the world in order to bring him glory” I have always had an idea of that meant but it really didn’t hit home until a situation took place and then the dots were finally connected.

I rode up to the retreat with 3 other ladies, we went up early to Prescott so that we could hang out together, eat lunch and walk around the mall. We are walking through the mall when one of the ladies receives a phone call and she starts to walk off by herself and we hear “where are you calling from?” She returns and we knew by looking at her something was wrong and it upset her. She shares with us briefly and then next thing you know one of the other ladies in our little group takes her by her hand to lead her and the rest of us to a table in the food court area and says “let’s pray right now”. We sat at the table took each other’s hands in a circle and she began to pray. We finished praying and I opened my eyes and glanced up and in front across the way was a man sitting drinking his coffee looking over at us and smiling. It was at that moment I felt different in a good way. I get to the retreat and hear “be holy and set us apart” I smiled to myself and said thank you Lord as I pictured that moment that had happened several hours ago in my mind.
