Pure and Undefiled Religion

Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this:
 to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, 
and to keep oneself unstained from the world. 
James 1:27

The Glory of God

I caught a little glimpse of the glory of God while the snow softly fell on us our last full day in Colorado just before the New Year.   That snowflake was no bigger than a single stitch on my winter coat, but ponder the detail-the God that knows and created every detail of that very snowflake-  and thousands upon millions just like that most assuredly knows your every need and every longing in your heart.  When you trust in him and seek to know him more and delight in him fully- you can reflect his glory just like that snowflake.  And  people will more easily notice his glory in you because you are much bigger and more noticable that a tiny snowflake.  He is worthy to be praised.

"In the same way, let your light shine before others,
so that they may see your good works
and give glory to your Father who is in heaven."
 Matthew 5:16
