The Perfection of Beauty

God shines forth from Zion, His perfection.

I love the idea of God inspiring the Psalmist (Psalm 50) like this. "Make a word picture of my glory shining over the world from a mountain that stands as its highest point."

God flows toward us, relates to us, shows Himself before us in absolute, total, incomprehensible perfection. This is beauty. The most beautiful sight you've ever beheld is a whisper, an arrow, an echo.

That rush I feel when I see my wife early in the morning or dressed up to go out...this is grace! He gives me pieces to prepare my eyes for what they cannot see. But will see.

How great, how awesome, how magnificent our God is!

Candace, I laughed out loud. And this was not a commentary on your physical appearance. It was just that your comment was hilarious. My title totally left room for that kind of joke...that was hilarious.
