THE LORD IS BEAUTIFUL

"How much we need, in the church and in society, witnesses of the beauty of holiness, witnesses of the splendor of truth, witnesses of the joy and freedom born of a living relationship with Christ!" Pope Benedict XVI 

PRAY: Dear God, I ask You one thing, as the only thing I seek today - that I may dwell in Your house, close to You, and feeling Your presence, all the days of my life.  Lord help me to dwell on You and Your beauty and that I may seek You everywhere I am and say, "Oh God, You are so beautiful!" May I keep gazing on You. In Jesus' name, AMEN.

REFLECT: What does it mean to "seek" God?  How can you do that more effectively?  And what does it mean to "dwell in the house of the Lord" and to "seek Him in His temple"?  And do you think of God as beautiful? Reflect on how to make these concepts real in your life, and how to personally make this scripture come to life for you so that you truly believe that God is beautiful.

ACT: Commit to actively SEEKING GOD in a new way.  Either spend more time with Him, or spend more time each day reading the Bible.  Commit to talk to Him all day, bring Him into every conversation, meeting, and decision, and relentlessly pursue Him, because He is BEAUTIFUL!

We would love to hear from you!
