Let His Beauty Shine Through

Beauty IS in the eye of the beholder! – Anon

To those with a pure heart the CROSS is a thing of beauty. AMEN!

Mirrors, Ugh! How we often try to avoid them. They seem to show all our flaws. The pimples, scars, years of aging. The gray hairs, receding hairline, tired eyes. And no matter how much we try to keep our shape, physique, beauty (exercise or otherwise( the mirror has something to point out that we worry about. But thankfully God cares nothing about the mirror image. He looks on the heart, and He looks through the blood of His perfect Son that cleanses us. What He sees is pure beauty, and what He blesses us with each day is to help make that beauty even more inspiring. So friend, let us let that ‘light shine.’

Until Monday…

Seeing the Best

I always try to believe the best of everybody – it saves me so much trouble. – Rudyard Kipling

God so loved the world that He gave His Son simply because He believed in mankind. He still does. WOW!

One of the great problems we face in life is seeing it through our own eyes. When we do, we tend to bring everything down to our own level, our own way of thinking; our own beliefs. We begin to think no one is perfect, or no one can live up to the standards God requires, not even Jesus. But life is not limited to what we see or think, people are not limited to our own personal faults or shortcomings. That’s the whole foundation of change. God accepts us just as we are, but loves us too much to leave us that way. He can see far grander and righteous acts in our lives. And when He’s at work in our lives we can then see the beauty in the world and the people around us. How’s your vision today?

Until tomorrow…
