Thine eyes shall see the King in His beauty:

they shall behold the land that is very far off.

 Isaiah 33:17 (KJV)

 

The well known saying, “Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder” suggests that defining beauty overall, can be disparaging in that each person sees something different, than another person might.

God, and His Word, brings and leads us to discover, what the meaning of “beauty” truly is, or should be; beyond looking at physical appearances on the outside.  For the LORD looks at the “heart” in all His children, and every thing in the Universe overall.  He searches us from “within”—ostensibly, we initially tend to look at the “outside” and that’s where we can get things so very wrong.  

Finding the real beauty in others, and in our surroundings, may be challenging at first. But when we observe the LORD’s Words, promises, and examples, it becomes more apparent with each step of the way. As we grow in our relationship with the LORD and become intimate with His love and doctrine, we are able to bound outside of our tunnel vision, bringing us to new insights in which we never experienced before.  But this comes from “knowing” Christ.  

When we aspire to walk in the Spirit, all things of flesh become smaller, as our growth in the LORD, becomes greater.  We have to “get smaller,” in order for the LORD to get “bigger” —We must “decrease,” so our LORD can “INCREASE”—(John 3:30-36) 

When that happens, we see things from an entirely different perspective, and no longer look at things in the same way as we did previously, that is to say, before coming to Christ.

We must decrease, so He can increase—In earnest, we need to remove all layers of earthly thoughts, ungodly actions, or futile desires, that tend to anchor us in this world. A world which invariably relies on insignificant material possessions, or titles and degrees, which is not relevant in the end of our life, or our journey here on earth.  

As we go through life we will see things in a new light when we follow the “LIGHT” and hear things in a new way, when we hear the “TRUTH” and we will focus of what is important, when we follow Christ.

 

See the beauty in your neighbor? 

See the beauty in your garden?

See the beauty in life overall?

When we see all things through Christ, we can then begin to see the definitive meaning of “true beauty.”  Amen!

 

“Lord God, may I walk in the Spirit, and see all things through Your eyes and love, in Jesus name, Amen.”
