Ephesians 1:6 (KJV)
To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.
All through the Bible, God's joy has been one: the unveiling of His sons to the creation, to the end that all creation hail Him for the immensity of His glory. Beginning with Jesus Christ who is always the first and the last, God made the first expression of His offsprings to the world, and the men of his day could not cease praising God for the glory which they beheld in Jesus.
The truth is, Jesus started the show for you, so that you would continue it till he returns to the earth. God has fashioned you after the image and likeness of His firstbegotten, so that as he became the expression of God's glory, you too become the expression of God's glory. You are the expression of God's glory. When the world sees you, they behold the glory of God in you.
You are the highest expression of God's excellence to the creation, the fulness of God's goodness, the most commendable of all His artefacts in the earth. You are the one whom the Bible refers to as "the praise of the glory of his grace". The word praise could also mean laudation or something that is praiseworthy. Since God fashioned you in respect of His his own grace or kindness, you have become the laudation of the glory of his grace or kindness.
When you think of yourself lower than this consciousness, you have not come to the place of full identification of yourself. You are not a mere human being who traces his genealogy to Adam. Your genealogy is traced to Jesus Christ who is the faithful witness, and the firstbegotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. You belong to a family of royals. In your family, the lowest status you could attain is to be king. Rejoice in your calling as the child of God.

NO TIME IS TOO LATE FOR GOD
Genesis 18:10-14
A common comment you hear from people who have been expecting a specific breakthrough from God for a long time is that they have cannot wait any longer. Their faith begins to wane and doubts set in.
We all get discouraged sometimes, even concerning things God promised us. You can look at your age, your situations and others of the same age with you, and wonder if you are not too late for life. Well, Sarah laughed and asked, “Shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?” God said “Yes”. We know Sarah birthed Isaac just over the exact time prophesied.
If God tells you something, you better believe that He has considered all situations and events in your life before making such a declaration. If God said you will be building houses, you better believe Him and not look at your age and bank accounts. God is never late in what He does with His plan for our lives. He is always right on time.
