GOD’S BEAUTY

“And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.”

Genesis 2:9 KJV

As I was walking to my mailbox, I looked at the trees.  They are beautiful and they reminded me of God’s beauty.  Not only did God make the beautiful trees, God is beautiful.  Our Heavenly Father has a beautiful, compassionate and loving heart.  His beloved Son also has a beautiful loving heart.

Also, we are to let the beauty of Jesus be seen in us.  We sing a hymn “Let the Beauty of Jesus be seen in me”.  When people look at us, do they see the beauty of Jesus in us or do they see the ugliness of satan?  If they don’t see the beauty of Jesus in us, they see the ugliness of satan.

May God help us to live so others will always see Jesus in our actions and hear His unconditional love for them in the kind and loving words we say to them.  We must never forget that when we are kind to people, we are being kind and loving to Jesus.  Are we making Jesus happy or are we making Him sad?

Heavenly Father, thank You for the beautiful trees and flowers You have given us.  We can plant them but only You can grow them into things of beauty.  You have also given us a beautiful Saviour.  Jesus, You are so beautiful.  Thank You for dying for me.  I love You with all my heart.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
