Glorifying God

How different would this world be if we could only grasp that we are eternal beings pacing about in a temporal cage? If we understood that this world, these bodies, were fashioned for the drama of the greatest story ever told? If we knew that every leaf and rock and star bear witness, that every great and terrible deed brings God glory? That nothing, in fact, escapes the inevitable purpose of bringing of glory to God?
There is glory in our joyful alignment with God and there is glory in His conquest over our rebellion. The light of Christ within us testifies to His goodness and the darkess in those without Christ testifies to their poverty without Him.
How different would the world be if the rebellious could only grasp that they cannot escape glorifying God?
