Our power and glory come from being a part of the whole.

Power and glory belong to God alone. So do you. God gives whatever belongs to Him because He gives of Himself, and everything belongs to Him. Giving of yourself is the function He gave you. Fulfilling it perfectly will let you remember what you have of Him, and by this you will remember also what you are in Him. You cannot be powerless to do this, because this is your power. Glory is God’s gift to you, because that is what He is. See this glory everywhere to remember what you are. T-8.III.8:1-8

If we as individuals are like drops in the ocean, it is good for us to recognize and acknowledge that the power and the glory belongs to the ocean and so it belongs to us.

In Unitarian Universalism some of us join together to affirm and promote the awareness of the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part. We can perceive the parts of the whole and some of us become aware that the whole is greater than simply the sum of the parts.

Today it is suggested that our power and glory comes from unity not from our individuality which is, from the perspective of the whole, an illusion.
