Honoring the gifts of God

The truth is that there is nothing, and I really do mean nothing, that I can do in my life to fully honor God for all He has done; it's just too much. Were I to spend every instant of the rest of my life proclaiming His glory it would fall short. What I can do is remember the words of Brother Lawrence "The most excellent method of going to God is that of doing our common business without any view of pleasing people but purely for the love of God." In essence: The way to honor the gifts God has given unto me, not the smallest of which would be the sacrifice of His holy son, is to do that which he has lain before me; namely to teach and teach well and teach for His glory and not my own for if I am indeed teaching well it is not a reflection of my skill or my ability to reach students but if I am teaching well; if I am, by the sheer power of my instruction, creating better citizens, better thinkers, better people then it is of His ability that this is occurring and it is to His glory not my own. The students are, after all, His children.
