Thanks for sharing them. Beauty draws us and also purifies us. The verse "worship the Lord in the beauty of his holiness" came to mind. Holiness beautiful? Sometimes it's terrifying to me. Because holiness vividly contrasts with our ugliness, perhaps we are hesitant to draw near. But we can also pray the prayer that's been put to to simple little chorus, "Let the beauty of Jesus be seen in me; All His wondrous compassion and purity. Oh Thou Spirit Divine, all my nature refine 'Til the beauty of Jesus be seen in me." That's real transformation and it's an onging process. Thank you Lord, for your beauty and for your patience! Help me to draw near to your beauty. These are thought provoking thoughts regarding beauty. Thanks for sharing them. Beauty draws us and also purifies us.
