God's Glory

So I am two weeks into Seminary school and it is nothing like my first Graduate degree. My Masters in Social Work was a walk around the park compared. Seminary is like an 100k up the mountain, down the valley, across the river and through the woods. In laymen's term it is a journey! A journey that I am called and willing to grow through in order to see God's Glory.
Which reminds me of a song that was sung during worship service this morning "for your glory, I will do anything, just to see you, to behold you as my king... I wanna be where you are!" The Apostle asked a question if we really knew what we were singing, what we were asking, and what it meant to see God's glory. Was I truly ready to do anything, even if trials and tribulation comes my way, even if my tuition isn't paid, I lose my car, my house, fall ill, even if death pays me a visit or have to mourn a love one, would I honestly be able to sing that song and mean every word? There was less hands raised as the choir began to sing again. I myself was in deep thought and had to think of the worse case scenario, and I'll admit that my hands did not go up right away. Yet the line that always compels me from that song is wanting to be where God is, and ultimately that is my goal, that should be all of our mission in this life... is to return to our maker, bask in His presence, and enjoy the glory that is HE!
