"The Glory of God is Man Fully Alive". I have been asked to interpret what this means brothers and sisters. I would like to first start out with asking why do artist's create art, why do dancers dance, why do architects build? Well the purpose for which someone creates anything in particular is to have his or her creation glorify themselves. So then the artist creates his art, dancer's dance routine, and architects buildings for the purpose of glorifying themselves and the places/people that they have grown up in. Well so too are humans called to glorify God.
Well the question now is how do we "Glorify" God. The answer, brothers and sisters, lies in the first question on "The Glory of God is Man Fully Alive"- obviously Man Fully Alive. Well then what is "Man Fully Alive"? Man fully alive is when man reaches their full potential and glorifies God in every way possible, may it be through simply writing this blog, eating, or studying. The definition of potential is having or showing the capacity to develop something in the future.
God has given all of us the potential to do great things. Wether we reach that full potential has a variety of factors involved in it. However the key factors to reaching our full potential is through proper use of our talents, opportunities, and the graces that we recieve through God. Using these three, you will definitely reach your full potential.We are all born with passions and talents, however it is when we find what we our vocations that we can live up to our full potential and glorify God in all things. When we do live up to our full potential, then we are men and women "fully alive".
