As a former religious novice, I have often
referred to the phrases of doing “all for the glory of God” and “the salvation
of souls.” I’ve also liked to consider myself as a “spiritual
mother,” but today’s Second Reading from Paul’s Letter to the Corinthians
reminded me of doing “everything for the glory of God.” Everything must
be offered up for the Divine Good Pleasure, with the faith that it is received
by a Loving Father rather than offered into thin air.
It is important that we do everything for God rather than to
please others. Though it is important to do things for, say, our
boss, or some sort of leader; but we cannot always be
people-pleasers. I have learned this from experience. We
must do everything for this Higher Power, especially because He cares so much
for us.
Let us do everything in acknowledgment of God. Not just
out of fear, but in response to love. It is a connection that must
be in continuum, and union with our Creator Who stoops down to
us. Should we not also reach up to Him?
