P31: Day One

What Does Beauty Mean to You?

I've tried to answer this very question for quite a while. I still struggle to define beauty for it isn't easily defined. It iis as intimate and personal as the one seeking to define it. Much like love, lifetimes are spent pursuing something that for the most part we can't even describe or contain. In the quest for external beauty--whether in self or in the world around us--we look at the physical: a sensory experience that's pleasing, delightful and satisfying. Things like a beautiful girl, a stunning sunset, art, music, etc. Sometimes beauty is found in the unseen world: eternal beauty. Perhaps the answer is this: beauty to me means seeing and experiencing life through glimpses of perfection coming when Christ returns and restores the kingdom to full and true glory. Bottom line. All things bright and beautiful come from the work of Christ in us and in this world. 

That is what beauty means to me.

the most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched, they must be felt with the heart. (helen keller)
