The glory life is not things. The glory life is a divine, supernatural relationship that has authority over everything. Read that twice, because it’s easy to hear “glory life” and start making a list of things you want. That’s not what this is.
If you have authority over something, you can have it — but the relationship comes first, and the things follow the relationship, not the other way around. That’s why chasing things without the relationship leaves people empty even when they get what they were chasing. Genesis 13:2 says Abraham was very rich in silver, cattle, and gold — but that richness sat on top of a relationship with God that had already been established. The wealth wasn’t the foundation. It was the fruit.
Nobody’s stuck. No matter what the situation looks like right now, it’s only temporary, because resurrection is always somewhere on the horizon for the person who has stopped treating scripture as history and started meditating it into mystery. There’s another step you’re going to take — this isn’t the end of your story, just a pause in the middle of it.
So here’s where I’ll leave you: stop measuring your life by what’s missing and start measuring it by who you belong to. The kingdom, the power, and the glory were never things you had to go find. They were already living in you, waiting for you to finally believe it enough to walk like it’s true.
