“That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.” Now that adds purpose and meaning to life; to know that your life and my life—and when you put both of them together, you and I don’t have very much, do we, to offer?

They weren’t worth saving, but I loved them and I saved them.” And that’s the thing that gives worth and standing and dignity and purpose and joy and glory to us. We exist today for the praise of His glory.
