“Glorifying God does not mean obeying him only because you have to. It means to obey him because you want to — because you are attracted to him, because you delight in him. This is what C. S. Lewis grasped and explained so well in his chapter on praising. We need beauty.”- Tim Keller
We all need beauty to connect us back to the glory of God and to remind us that He is actually good. It reminds me that He knows better than I do and that His way leads to more beautiful results than my own. My prayer for this new season is that I would see beauty where others might not see it, that this beauty around me would stop me in my tracks, that I would be overwhelmed every day by some beautiful moment, and that the beauty would always point my heart back to Him. Here’s to being overwhelmed by beauty and working to encourage and create it in our own lives.
