Living in God's Glory

WITHOUT AN IDENTITY CARD afar. God’s glory is reflected in myriad scenes of nature if one has a discerning eye. WITHOUT AN IDENTITY CARD The time is fast approaching when everyone will want to be counted among God’s humble servants. On Judgment Day, this privilege will only be for those who, before the coming of that day, have shown themselves to be deserving of divine approval. a village boy came to the city. as he was walking along the road, he passed by a school. it was the anniversary day of the school, and hundreds of schoolboys had formed a line outside one of the windows. as he approached closer, he saw that sweets were being distributed. Each boy was taking his share and going away. The village boy also joined the line and waited for his turn, thinking that as all the other boys were given a packet of sweets each, he would also be presented with one. Finally, he reached the window and stretched out his hand eagerly. a voice came from behind the window: “Where is your identity card?” of course, the village boy could not show a card and was turned away empty-handed. he realized that the sweets were not for anyone who turned up at the window; they were for those who had studied the whole year in the school.
