I have a second website which just went live which showcases both my books which are available and the artwork of Ronald Barba, my son. That website is: http://www.truthofgodunveiled.com/.
The beginning of the concept for myglorytoglory.com was to be able to share in this my journey of Grace. Genesis 6: 8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.
That grace was unmerited, he was among the men that God looked down upon whose heart was filled with evil imagining. 5 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagining of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually Yet, God reached down and chose Noah and shone a light of unmerited Grace to him to save him from the coming judgement. I have found it so amazing that God would have chosen this heart of mine to demonstrate that same unmerited Grace; yet, He did. Before I was ever born, He knew each time that I would fail Him, every time that pride, human desire, or jealousy would cause me to fail Him. Still, in spite of all that, He still chose me to be adopted into His family. This rebel child was chosen from the orphanage of life and surrounded by His mercy, His grace, and His love. Ever so gently He has wooed me, causing me to develop a love for Him that goes beyond any human love could. I so desire to please my Father and feel the bitter pain of sorrow each time I dishonor His name by some deed of my own or by doubting Him. He gave me a part of Himself- the Holy Spirit to guide me along this journey. Romans 8: 4 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
He then promised not to leave me in the rebellious state where He found me; but would step by step transform me into the image of His own Son. Romans 8: 29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. He continues to display more and more of Himself so that as I gaze upon the Glory that is found in Christ, I am being transformed into that image 2Corinthians 3: 17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord My human heart is unable to see Him in His fullness of Glory; but as I continue to gaze upon Him (though through a glass that dims the magnitude) He changes me into that same image Glory by Glory. Little Glories followed by new little Glories, inch by inch, step by step–I am changed. By studying and meditating upon His word, I am polishing that glass so that I might see Him more clearly and yearn for Him more with each passing day. Even that, is by Grace; because I could not be enlightened by His Word were He not to illuminate it to shine it deep into the dark recesses of my heart. If you feel Him calling you, I urge you to run to Him. Don’t sit in the corner of some orphanage of life and say that maybe later. Later may never come. He is standing there. He paid the price for your adoption and He is bidding you to come now.
