passion for the glory of God

Passion for the glory of God is similar to our growth in heart character. It is not something that we do or obtain, but something that God develops in us. Paul writes that suffering, produces perseverance, perseverance character, and character hope – hope in the glory of God. When we set our hope on the glory of God, it is like setting our eyes on a fixed point on the horizon, allowing us to walk in a straight path through the desert seasons.
