It has been said that one of the greatest evidences of God is His breathtaking creation. A sunset over the deep blue waters of the ocean... the smell of a colorful spring flower.... the way the earth glistens after an afternoon rain... All beautiful and all on purpose. We serve a God who values magnificence. “The beauty of the cosmos,” one writer penned, “is God’s signature. He could have made an ugly world and a loathsome universe. But He is a God of beauty, and we must worship Him in the beauty of His holiness.”
Maybe while you are reading this, you are in front of a mirror. If not, take a second and find one to stare into. Stare into the image you see. You know what? That face is beautiful. Exquisite. Those eyes... hand made and color tinted by God. The hair... each strand placed (and counted) by the Lord Himself. Ephesians 2 tells us that the image you are looking at right now is the best work God can do. He says it Himself...You are His masterpiece...you are loved... and you are more stunning than the brightest star in His sky. God made you beautifully (and he knows and values beauty!). Today, if the world tries to make you feel less than exquisite, remember what you see now... and keep in mind that God’s words to describe you are far more accurate than those of your peers.
