glory


Have you ever considered how many titles and honors are bestowed upon the saints, in the Word of God?  Neither had I, until today.  I doubt whether the following list is exhaustive, but it is breathtaking as it is ~ especially, if you will really meditate upon the meaning of each of those attributes which God ascribes to His chosen.
