Beauty From Within

I thought I'd take a rest from my posts that seem to upset me or depress me, so I'm going to talk about a topic that I have been thinking about, it's one of my favourite things actually...it's Beauty.

I like to think I can find beauty in many things...nature, people, paintings, words, lots of things...and one thing that is very important to me, is a person's inner beauty...it's an amazing thing how you can look at someone and not know them at all...and really not think anything of them...but once you get to know them...you realize just how beautiful they are.

God makes beautiful things...but sometimes you have to look deeper than just outside appearances. As cliche as it is...a caterpiller is definitely not the prettiest thing...but when it turns into a butterfly, now that's beauty.

"The king is enthralled by your beauty; honor him, for he is your lord." (Psalm 45:11)

-sigh-....what beauty is found in a simple verse from the bible...I long to be out in nature right now, I love being outside...in a park, in the woods by the lake, on top of a hill over-looking the landscape and setting sun...

People...how beautiful they can be.

Thank you Lord, for everything you do and create is just so beautiful in its' own ways...and I pray that you open the hearts of those around me who maybe need to see what true beauty can be. And it's all from you Lord. Amen.

Until next time, God Bless.
