“BEAUTY!”

Me-Maw Thoughts

As I woke my computer up this morning the screen showed the most beautiful array of flowers blooming and showing off the deep colors of each.

As I just took a moment to look at them and let the beauty of them give me joy and pleasure it occurred to me the beauty God has created on this earth and how much more beauty will be in heaven.

But more than that how beautiful Jesus is to those who love and trust Him and how much more beautiful He will be when we look into those powerful eyes that looked down through the ages and saw we needed a savior and went to the cross for me and all who will believe and receive.

Revelation 1:14 (KJV)
His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;

Those eyes that are watching over us and seeing through the walls and the hurts that keep us bound. Those eyes that show us the Love that sets us free! Eyes that burn with Love for His creation!

He gives us beauty for ashes and joy for the spirit of heaviness.

The word tells us that when we are spreading the Good News or Gospel of Jesus Christ our feet are beautiful!

Romans 10:15 (KJV)
 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!

When I look at my feet I understand that Jesus eyes are filled with love because I see no beauty in my feet. But when I walk out the truth of all I am in Him, my feet are beautiful.

We are all sent to spread the good news. We are not all to spread the gospel in a public setting, but we share as we live and with those we meet. We show Jesus to those in our home and workplace and marketplaces.

Psalm 90:17 (KJV)
And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us: and establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.

Take another look at that verse. Moses was praying for the people and asking that God would help them number their days or make their days count. Then he asked that God’s beauty be upon us!

We are beautiful when we receive all that Jesus gives us!

Beauty, true beauty comes from within.

The beauty of a baby, or a mountain, or the ocean or a child at play. Many things are show us beauty.

Beauty is something or someone that gives us great pleasure as we view it and enjoy it. Some spend their life working on making the body, face, hair, etc. beautiful but neglect the real beauty of a life sold out to the Lord Jesus.

The person sold out to Jesus walks in wisdom, kindness, and the blessings of the Lord. That person walks in the anointing power of the spirit of God within. That person is beautiful no matter what the physical appearance is!

We have all heard the expression: “Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder”. May I tell you that when we see people as Jesus sees them, every person we meet will be beautiful!

When we worship the Lord with a pure heart, it is beauty to Him.

Psalm 96:9 (KJV)
O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness: fear before him, all the earth.

As Jesus looks on us and sees beauty in us, may we look at each other with eyes of love and see beauty in all people and understand we are all created for a purpose!

Ephesians 1:18 (KJV)
The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,

Beauty is everywhere, may we take time to let it remind us of the greatness of our Creator God!

Father, thank you for the beautiful world you created. Thank you for the beauty you create in us as we open ourselves up to your Love. May each person who reads this feel your beauty deep inside them and may it flow to the outside and effect all we meet! You, Lord God, are awesome, and wonderful, and I Praise you with all that is in me. In Jesus name, I pray. Amen!

Beauty for Ashes!
