Original Glory

I was outside reading (on our lovely outdoor living room at our cottage in Costa Rica) this morning.  Surrounded by glorious gardens refreshed by the heavy rains the last two nights, raindrops hanging on the plants like diamonds, I read of our original glory.  Hmm…we don’t hear much about that, do we?  Our original glory came before our original sin and is the reason for our yearnings for a happily ever after.  

For you made us only a little lower than God, and you crowned us with glory and honor.  Psalm 8:5

Isn’t that a lovely grace thought to start the day with?
