"GOD shewed in all the Revelations, oftentimes, that man worketh evermore His will and His worship lastingly without any stinting (ceasing)."
Julian of Norwich (ch. 44)
According to God, humans are always working His will and are to His worship. How can God show humans as always doing His will and bringing Him glory, when we humans can see many behaviors, words and attitudes we have that are not according to God's will or glory? We see the outward expression but God sees the heart. He sees the deepest parts and sees into our true inner man. That inner man or spirit always wills, intends and does God's will and glorifies God. Our outward acts don't define us. God defines us and He defines us by our inner spirit that is one with Him, made like Him, and in tune with Him. We can rest assured that even if we fail on the outside, on the inside we have pure motives and a good heart.
There is another way that we can look at this, too. God sees us innocent and good because He sees us cleansed of all sin through Christ's work. Christ took away the sin of the world, of all humanity. He did that in historical time 2000 years ago, but in God's eternal view He was "slain from the foundation of the world." God is outside of time and sees the work of Christ to cleanse us from all sin as happening outside of time in the eternal Now. So in that sense, according to God we were cleansed of all sin before we even committed one wrong act, before we were even born. So we are always clean and pure to Him, always living and walking not in our own failures but in Christ's perfect righteousness. For that is what we became in Christ on the cross: He became our sin and we became His righteousness. We are now in the purity of Christ Himself. Christ is always doing the will of the Father and bringing Him glory, and since we are now His righteousness, innocence and holiness, we too are always doing the will of the Father and bringing Him glory!
Isn't our God so wonderful? He has created and preserved us with a pure spirit and He has redeemed and cleansed the flesh that fell into sin, so any way you see it, we please and glorify God without ceasing or failing!
"I will glorify your name forever."
Psalm 86:12 (NIV)
A Prayer: I bring God glory without ceasing.
