Have you ever wondered what the word beauty truly means? I know I do, who defines what beauty is? Who tells me what is beautiful? Why is this more beautiful than that? Why is beauty defined by society? Why can’t beauty just be simple?
As I sit in this park in Serbia with the sun shining down on me. I can’t help but wonder at the beauty all around me. The things that are truly beautiful in this world.
I love that beauty is endless. While I sit here thinking about the blessings that have been brought upon me these past 6 months. I think about the beauty that is in life, that has been in my life for years. The people around me, the experiences I’ve had, the laughter I have enjoyed. It all relates back to beauty. The beauty of creation.
Every morning I listen to the song “Spirit Move” and the lyrics say “to know your presence and see your beauty.” This song speaks truth into me. That I want to know his presence and see his beauty. It says that we want to know his goodness and seek his glory. Yes that’s true I want to, but do I live in that daily?
Today I got to see his beauty and really experience it. Not because I was in a beautiful park in Serbia, but because I truly opened my eyes and heart to sit in stillness and bask in the beauty of His creation.
As I sit here and watch that little girl jump rope with her dad with the biggest smile on her face. I see that little old man reading the newspaper with a peace that baffles me. I watch a young couple walk hand in hand giggling and laughing, in Love. I see the birds fly in circles in the sky free as ever. I close my eyes and turn my face to the sun as the warmth soaks into my soul.
This is what Gods creation is. It’s not only his creation but the beauty of life. I want more of his beauty and his image of beauty. God is beauty and he created each one of us to be beautiful humans in his image.
“He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.” ~ Ecclesiastes 3:11
Have you seen Gods beauty today?
