This truth reveals itself before our eyes every day, tirelessly. We can discern the difference in beauty between God's creation, what some call Mother Nature, and human creations. Man is capable of constructing houses, cars, and other structures, producing acceptable and honorable works. However, these cannot compare to what God has created.
Visual beauty is a clear manifestation of God's love for aesthetics. He could have harmonized colors, shades, and shapes differently, perhaps creating a more chaotic and less colorful world. Yet, He carefully crafted His world, and it is constantly before our eyes. Simply traveling allows us to contemplate the splendor of His creation and the infinite diversity of His universe. Landscapes, with their majestic mountains, lush forests, and vast, mysterious oceans, testify to divine grandeur. Natural cycles, like sunrise and sunset, changing seasons, are visual symphonies that remind us of perfection.
But beauty is not limited to the visual aspect. There is also the beauty of actions. Actions possess their own beauty or ugliness. God's actions are the ultimate incarnation of beauty. They manifest daily through acts of generosity, listening, attention, forgiveness, support, protection, and endless giving. This is the eternal beauty that God continually manifests, through what we can see with our eyes and feel with our hearts.
Human beauty is expressed through our interactions and behaviors. When we act with compassion, love, and respect, we reflect divine beauty. Acts of kindness, whether big or small, contribute to beautifying our world. Helping someone in need, listening attentively, offering selfless support are all ways to partake in divine beauty.
This omnipresent and infinite beauty is a testament to God's love for creation and a constant reminder of His benevolent presence in our lives. It encourages us to seek beauty not only in the world around us but also in our own actions and interactions, thus reflecting the harmony and splendor of the divine work. By cultivating beauty in our lives, we honor God's creation and draw closer to Him.
Thus, whether we observe the majesty of the starry sky or feel the warmth of an act of kindness, we are constantly surrounded by divine beauty. This beauty inspires us to live more consciously, to appreciate the wonders of nature, and to strive for a more harmonious and just world. Recognizing divine beauty in every aspect of our existence nourishes our soul and strengthens our faith.
All praises go to the Most Beautiful. 🤍
