Psalm 115:1
Not to us, Lord, not to us but to your name give glory because of your faithfulness and love.

God is not my instrument to carry out my ego’s desires…but rather I am God’s instrument to carry out God’s desires. As a child, my program for happiness revolves around satisfying my desires. I am at the center of the universe. However, as I grow I come into the knowledge that God is at the center of the universe…not me. Usually this comes through pain and suffering…seemingly the only way we will learn that our egos’ designs for happiness are all illusion. I do not exist for my glory…but for God’s. When I am being fully present to the moment with all my senses fully engaged…I can truly give God the glory. As St. Irenaeus said, “The glory of God is the human fully alive.”
