Beautiful

You know, as I grow my walk in Christ, I start to recognize who Christ is fully in all His attributes. Just to know Christ in its fullness is such a beautiful thing. Even though at times it can feel like we’re sitting in the unknown, is it still such a beautiful feeling. Even to this day, there are some things that have happened in my life that I still don’t quite understand, but that’s just what this walk is. “He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end”(Ecclesiastes‬ ‭3‬:‭11‬). Everything is not meant to be known and that’s where faith lies. I think it’s beautiful and loving that He wants us to depend on Him that much. I mean, that was part of the whole basis of Him dying for us. He loved us so much that He gave up His only Son so that we could have eternal life. So that we have something to believe in for all of our wants and needs. So that we can have a Savior that saves us from the wickedness of this world. So that we can have peace, hope, life, and love. He doesn’t want you to live in fear, anxiety, worry, stress – that is not who He called us to be. We are children of God, and that has to be the most beautiful thing that this world could ever know. To be a child of the creator. To be connected to the one who made life and life more abundantly. To sit here and think that we are all connected and meant to be joined together with Him is amazing. Who wouldn’t want be a part of that? These are the things that we should think about when we face trials and tribulations. Those exact misfortunes are nothing compared to Christ. “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things”(Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭8‬).‭ “For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us”(Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭18‬).

‭ What’s a misfortune to an all Sovereign God? What’s a misfortune compared to the promises of God? This is what makes life beautiful – God Himself . Beautiful is you. Beautiful is me. Me and you are God’s most prize possessions. There is no reason why you should think any less. There is no problem, no worry, no care and no concern that should make you feel any less valuable. The love of God triumphs it all. “may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; and to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God”(Ephesians‬ ‭3‬:‭18‬-‭19‬). These are only a few snippets of some of the things that I’ve learned about God, but honestly sometimes this is all I need to remember to keep going. Although God is so vast and there’s so much more to learn about Him, just to think of His goodness and holiness can provide strength for you. No matter what other people may be doing or what they may believe in, you have to know God for yourself. You have to experience Him personally. If you look around, you can see the beauty of Him and feel Him. It takes a special seeking with a willing heart.

You are loved and known for God says so. Open your eyes and see to walk with Him. God created a beautiful life for a beautiful soul and that’s you.

Jeremiah 31:3 “The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.”

1 John 4:19 “We love him, because he first loved us.”

‭‭‬ ‭

Romans 8:38-39 “For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
