Treasures of Beauty

God has created great beauty for us: light day/darkness, arrangements of water, fish, birds and flowers with their array of colors, animals, human beings, male and female.  God sent prophets to prepare us, then He sent Jesus Christ to live among us to show us the way back to Him.  Then Christ sent the Holy Spirit to dwell in us and help us. “If we see the beauty of the world through the eyes of God, we will be drawn into the heart of the Holy One.”  (The Catechist’s Formation Workbook).
 
There may be times when we do not experience beauty as a part of our life.  We may be too busy to dwell on the Great Artist’s work. Through some sorrow, despair, ugliness and brutality in this world, “We need to be reminded that there is goodness, hope and beauty here, too. (The Catechist’s Formation Workbook). Then we can sing, because Christ lives.  We can face tomorrow because He lives. All fear is gone because we know He holds the future, and life is worth the living because He lives.

Praise God!

“Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone will hear my voice and will open the door to me, I will enter to him, and I will dine with him, and he with me.” 
​Revelation 3:20 CPDV
The Lord is calling, inviting all. I am not writing you as a person of theology, I write to you as a witness to what the Lord can do in a life. If you feel something missing in your life, I would ask you to listen to my experience. I invite you to join.

Each person’s life can change once you answer the invitation. Mine has... is.., and will continuously
change because I am vigilantly seeking this relationship with Him.
it can be miraculous, some cases slow, 
In some cases and sometimes may seem void. I would tell you
that never during anytime has He left your side. Be patient, you are being taken from a diamond in the
rough to a beautifully polished gem worth more than money can buy.
