truth, beauty, and other thoughts....

The truth about beauty cannot be found on the surface. It is not visible in the cloth covering the skin, and it is not found in charm and flattery. It comes from deep where the roots are.The vain kind of beauty traps the emotions of us humans and ensnares falsities that the world wants us to fall into head first.

No desires can be fulfilled in anything that is not wholly centered on God. And delays or misgivings cannot be fully trusted. If there is a hesitation, it is usually with good reason. Compare everything with what you read in Scripture. Do not settle for someone who does not uphold that which is in Scripture, but who knows they fall short every day. None of us is perfect, only Christ is, and He is the perfecter of our faith. So seeking Him in everything should be the focus. Wisdom grows when we seek Him.

Truly we have nothing to fear when we hand over all our circumstantial moments, feelings, worries, scraps of doubt and anything else that falls in between our hours of each day.There is no such thing as being alone. But we take ourselves away from God's presence with our own self-dwelling selfishness, pushing Him away while He continues to open His arms to us.
