Flowers That Wilt, Glory That Lasts

Many use their talents to gain glory and fame,

But the only glory you should be chasing

Is the glory of Jesus.

For in the end, our glory disappears

Like flowers—fresh, when picked,

Beautiful to look at,

Beautiful to smell,

But they wilt in the sun

And their look and smell vanish.

So use your talent well,

Whether singing or writing,

Whether you know how to play

A piano or a harp

Not to glorify yourself,

But to glorify Christ.

If you are good at painting,

Then use that

To glorify Christ.

Amen
