I am frustrated. You may have noticed that I used to put lots of artwork on my blog, since I am an artist. But I have been unable to produce any art because my new
wonderful Surface Pro 3 seems unable to fully support my art programs. So I have to put photos instead. This photo is of a daffodil I saw on my morning run a couple of days ago. It was very beautiful, and was along the edge of a fence in a vacant lot. Not where you would expect a daffodil to bloom. A burst of beauty in a stretch of ugly.
Perfect. That's what I would like to be. Not physically beautiful -- those days are long gone. But spiritually beautiful in a dark, and desperate world. A flash of Jesus in the vacant lots of life. Yes. A daffodil in a stretch of ugly.
******************
You are altogether beautiful, my love; there is no flaw in you.
Do not let your adorning be external—the braiding of hair and the
putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear— but let your
adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty
of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's sight is very precious.
Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the
Lord is to be praised.
He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, he has put
eternity into man's heart, yet so that he cannot find out what God has
done from the beginning to the end.
The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God will stand forever.
