About the flowering beauty of God…
Psalm 149:4 For the
LORD taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation. (KJV)
In a world full of empty and ugly darkness, we need to
search for God's light full of truth, love, and beauty. When we believe in God,
when we believe in the goodness and beauty of God, then we can find His
flowering beauty within us. What is remarkable, and amazing, and astounding, is
His ability to unfold His beauty within us from what we think is nothing. How
God could create all that exists from nothing is beyond our understanding. How
God creates His beauty within us from what we think is nothing is also beyond
our understanding. However, His beauty is real, live, and touchable by our heart
and mind. Most importantly, whether we understand the unfolding flower of His
beauty or not, the beauty of God continually blossoms within us. To have and
hold His flowering beauty within us in a world gone horribly mad and ugly
requires we focus our thoughts and the stirrings of our heart upon Him. When we
focus our thoughts and the stirrings of our heart upon Him, He then makes His
flowering beauty appear to us by giving us an experience with Him. We experience
His beauty by having the flowers of His love open up and blossom before us as we
kneel before Him in loving awe and wonder.
