<p><span style="mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK2;"><span style="mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK1;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; color: #333333; font-family: Times;">Marveled at… in all of them, how can this be?  Surely in some of them… no</span></span></span><span style="mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK2;"><span style="mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK1;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; color: #6600cc; font-family: Times;">,</span></span></span><span style="mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK2;"><span style="mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK1;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; color: #333333; font-family: Times;"> it is in all of them, those we never believed could have this kind of substance and in reality who don&#8217;t believe it themselves. Those who are pretending to have something great even betraying their own confidence as they foolishly boast while doubting it all the same. And the reality &#8211; they don&#8217;t know the glory within and would of course be in awe themselves if they could see it.   </span></span></span></p>

Can we say this along with a shepherd boy who took on a goliath and became a king (or was he already a king in boys clothing)? Does the creator say in the forming of every one…and thing, &#8220;It is good, it is beautiful, amazing and wonderful are the works of my hands.&#8221; </span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK2;"><span style="mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK1;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; color: #333333; font-family: Times;">In the garden words directed to Papa &#8220;I am glorified in them&#8221;.
