A good title for this picture would be:
Sometimes you don't have to look far for beauty. The same thing could
be said for God; please consider the following...
Acts, Chapter 17
22
Paul stood in the middle of the Areopagus, and said, “You men of
Athens, I perceive that you are very religious in all things. 23 For
as I passed along, and observed the objects of your worship, I found
also an altar with this inscription: ‘TO AN UNKNOWN GOD.’ What therefore
you worship in ignorance, this I announce to you. 24 The God who made the world and all things in it, he, being Lord of heaven and earth, doesn’t dwell in temples made with hands, 25 neither
is he served by men’s hands, as though he needed anything, seeing he
himself gives to all life and breath, and all things. 26 He
made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the surface of
the earth, having determined appointed seasons, and the boundaries of
their dwellings, 27 that they should seek the Lord, if perhaps they might reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us. 28 ‘For in him we live, and move, and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also his offspring.’
Just
as there is beauty out there- often-times closer than you might think,
so God is near. He wants you to see HIM for who HE truly is and the
following...
John, Chapter 4
21 Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe me, the hour comes, when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, will you worship the Father. 22 You worship that which you don’t know. We worship that which we know; for salvation is from the Jews. 23 But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such to be his worshipers. 24 God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.”
Is truth beauty and is beauty truth? I think so, for I remember this passage from Romans 10:15b ...
“How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the Good News of peace,
who bring glad tidings of good things!”
Enough said!
