Beauty Redefined (Part 3)

Can beauty fade, or is beauty eternal?
Can something which is defiled be made beautiful?
Do you believe in the God who does miracles?
Can something devoid of holiness be made holy?
Can the unclean be cleansed?
Is forgiveness beauty?
Is the holy hand reaching down to the sinful mind beautiful?

There is beauty in a choice.
There is beauty when we decide to pick of the cross and follow.

Can something painful be beautiful?
Will you enter into the beauty of suffering discipleship today?

Beauty Redefined (Part 2)

When heaven reaches down and touches earth, is that beauty?
When heaven opened, and the Spirit of God descended like a dove and lighting on him, is that beauty?
When a voice from heaven said, "This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased." Is that beauty?


When he was led by the Spirit into the desert to be tempted by the devil, is that beauty?
When he denied himself, and past those temptations, is that beauty?
When he fasted and prayed, is that beauty?

When Moses heard the voice of God on Mt. Sinai, was that beauty?
When Jeremiah wept for God's people, was that beauty?
When a voice shouted in the wilderness for us to repent and prepare ourselves for the coming of the Lord, was that beauty?

Beauty Redefined (Part 1)

I need to recapture the essence of beauty. Beauty is not the destruction of something sacred. Sadly, in our sinfulness we’ve fed ourselves lies calling the unholy beautiful. Ironically, humans now pursue the impure and call that beauty, and want nothing to do with the purely beautiful. We chase after beauty that isn’t intended to be ours, and in turn lose our innocence when we bite into the skin of the apple. We have stripped the proper boundaries and parameters from beauty and are left with a diffused oozing undefined beauty.

I have vainly chased after the wind and called that fulfilling. I need to rethink what it means to behold beauty. I need to see as if for the first time the beauty of our glorious Lord. I don’t need another lecture-ish type of sermon stating 10 things that beauty isn’t. I don’t need to hear about how our society has perverted beauty. I don’t need to hear another rant on our society’s insane twisting and distortion of beauty.

I just want to hear about beauty. I don’t want to hear about the tainted other side for a change. Just give me the beautiful side, and let us see beauty, raw beauty. I want to read about beauty. I want to write about beauty. I want my life to display beauty. I want to breathe beauty.
