Beautiful

Sorry I missed last weeks blog. Got a tad busy. Amongst that busyness though I was talking about beauty to someone. They made a statement like this: "Beauty is in the eye of the Beholder". Its quite true. Problem is we don't always realise who's eye really counts. . .

Too many of us have made it our life's work to change peoples opinions of us. We seem determined to prove that we are "cool". That we are Valuable to them. I'm guilty just as much as the next guy. We are constantly trying to get people to see our "good" side. Our beauty if you will. Problem is not everyone is going to. That's beauty of being human as such, we are different and we are not going to like or be pleased with everyone.

Back to the statement: "Beauty is in the eye of the Beholder". Its a self explanatory statement that is logically sound. Thing is we just think that humans are the only beings that can see beauty. God is a being. God sees beauty. As I said we try and earn or get the acknowledgement that we are "beautiful" as such from people. We already have the greatest acknowledgement of our beauty ever, God's. Where does it say that in the Bible you may ask? Paraphrasing here but did God not sit back and look at what all was created and saw that it was "good". OK so He said good Logan not beautiful you may be saying. What does good mean? This :

(as an adjective)

1.
morally excellent; virtuous; righteous; pious.
2.
satisfactory in quality, quantity, or degree.
3.
of high quality; excellent.
4.
right; proper; fit.
5.
honorable or worthy; in good standing.
6.
genuine; not counterfeit.
7.
advantageous; satisfactory for the purpose.
8.
skillfully or expertly done.
9.
comparatively new or of relatively fine quality.

So for a all powerful, all knowing, infinite God to say that all His creation is "good", that's quite a complement. If God says it therefore it is. Thats right it is a absolute. No matter if we see the beauty in it, God does. Ergo its beautiful.

There is the other side to the coin though. Its when we let others people opinions about you become your opinions about you. When we let that happen we build a prison in our souls with only one prisoner. You. What we need to reliese is the God's opinion is all that matters. Guess what Gods opinion is. That you are beautiful, you are "good".

Can you accept that from Gods perspective, you are good?

Can you accept that beauty is an absolute?

Can you accept that you are beautiful?



God Bless
