This is an entry from my journal but I felt like posting it on this blog as well because it is something I have been thinking about lately...
Beauty is a really strange concept when you actually think about it; what it is defined by, what it has come to be, what it was designed as, Who is it's essence...what draws us to it. Unfortunately I think it has become so twisted that in it's true and genuine form, it oftentimes isn't even recognized...that it has been lost. Not lost in it's existence; lost in it's recognition, enjoyment, quenching of a thirst that I think is in every one of us. I think we need beauty; we crave it like a drug, seek it in every nook and cranny. Where can you find it? From the One who is beauty Who designed it, created it, and is it. And so we seek it. Women seek it in so many ways...oftentimes masking their true beautiful with an artificial substitute, which, like candy, temporarily satisfies but will never satisfy the hunger, sustain life.
I have come to discover that I find my own beauty of Creation within nature. Always in nature. In the glorious natural creations He formed at the beginning of time...I have also come to discover that I draw sustaining life from witnessing them {these creations}, exploring them, drinking in these glorious, majestic beauties designed for us. I think it's seriously vital (and understated) the importance of knowing the beauty from which you can draw life and replenishment. As of late, i have felt severely stripped of my own personal beauty and the effects of that have not been pretty. But withdrawing to a place where I can soak the beauty of Creation into every single pore is so liberating. It frees me completely into who I am and who I was meant to be.
