Progression and Interaction

I have been reflecting on the concept of Glory, specifically how God increases in Glory. And as I reflected on this I began to reflect on how this concept affects us and how it helps us grow in our own balance, wellness and perspective. Eternal progression is all interactional - meaning, that you progress as others progress. This has a real impact when considering mental health, because this would mean that we need others to stay mentally well (not a new concept). God is continually progressing, not in knowledge, but in glory. God helps us progress, but we, as well, help Him progress (interaction) - by our good works and our service to others (His children) we add to His Glory! This is just one more reason we need to serve others, keeping this in mind - As we help others progress, we in turn progress and God progresses because of our progression - For this is His work and Glory! And His work and glory is to help us! God He knows all and is all, and at the level that He is, being ultimately omnipotent and omnipresent, there is no other purpose or reason than to help everyone else, His children, to succeed. We must focus on service to others, to help everyone. If service is God's Glory, then our work, everything we do, should be to serve others and be for His glory. The implications of this would solve most of the emotional difficulties, addiction issues and other problems in our society. We should not worry about trivial things, such as what people think, only what God thinks of you, and in turn, you will draw the Godly to you.

I searched your blog today regarding "progress". I have wondered if I am making any "progress" with therapy. I asked my husband last night what he thought, he said "no, he didn't see any progress." This made me think even harder of what my thoughts are on this. Am I progressing, not only in therapy but also in life. After doing some soul searching I have found that "yes" I am progressing. It is a slow process but it is progress. I too firmly believe that as I progress I am helping my family and those around me progress and become better people. I am grateful for this insight! Thanks for helping me progress!
