What is beautiful?
I have been thinking about this the past day or so
especially in connecting Jesus to our lives...
Have you ever come across someone who was just truly
radiant? What do I mean by that? Radiant with Christ Jesus love so strongly
that their personality frankly was what I could perceive as “beautiful.”
It is definitely not at all about the surface, this is
entirely about spiritual beauty. It is
when someone’s nature mirrors their faith so strongly they do begin to manifest
light and love. They truly do begin to
embody a beatific attitude.
This was just one person, one solitary moment in time and
day... but what if we all could begin, become aware and embody this beautiful
behavior that a person of faith exampled profoundly well? Where would we be—here and now?
I left that moment with a wonderful pain in my heart, not
so much lamenting but wondering... Did I just experience the Gospel in motion,
nearly perfectly spiritually manifested in another disciple? Much like my conversion experience, this did
begin to leave me with tears of hopeful joy.
I pray and hope for this world and where we are going
these days that we stop feeding the chasm of a graceless wilderness and
dream. The Kingdom of God is beautiful
and it is manifested in so many ways and understandings... The light of compassion, kindness, peace,
mercy and love however are its center...
May God Bless You in your faith journey—live deeply—the Gospel
May it become a transforming manifesto of the heart
shaped to God; a BE/ become beautiful
AMEN
