Listen
The one who enters in the Lord’s name is blessed; we bless all of you from the Lord’s house. The Lord is God! He has shined a light on us! So lead the festival offering with ropes all the way to the horns of the altar. You are my God—I will give thanks to you! You are my God—I will lift you up high! Give thanks to the Lord because he is good, because his faithful love lasts forever.
Psalm 118:26-29

The prolific writer and Trappist monk, Thomas Merton, wrote in New Seeds of Contemplation: “A tree gives glory to God by being a tree. For in being what God means it to be it is obeying God. […] This particular tree will give glory to God by spreading out its roots in the earth and raising its branches into the air and the light in a way that no other tree before or after it ever did or will do.”
Like the tree, you honor God by being willing to be the person that God made you to be.
As you grow closer to God, you will become more and more uniquely you. And you will also be more effective in the world.
