THE HOLINESS OF GOD'S BEAUTY
“We do not want merely to see beauty…we want something else which can hardly be put into words - to be united with the beauty we see, to pass into it, to receive it into ourselves, to bathe in it, to become part of it.” C. S. Lewis
PRAY: God, I want to be in the beauty of Your Holiness. Will You help me to worship You with joy and thanksgiving so that I tremble before You in Your majesty? Let me see You as beautiful.
REFLECT: What would it mean to see God as beautiful? Is He beautiful to you right now? You might have to change your definition of "beauty" to make it more internal and not just an external trait.
ACT: We are all influenced by the media, and Hollywood has defined beauty to us as thin, sexy, pure skin, shiny hair, etc. We think of celebrities as beautiful people, and yet we don't know what's in their hearts. Change your definition of beautiful so that you are reflecting God's meaning. He cares most about our hearts, minds, and souls.

Om denne plan
HPN wants to meet your personal spiritual needs and supply you with a solid daily devotional, as well as encourage you to include praying for the people, the projects, and the incredible influence of the Hollywood entertainment industry. We see it as the world’s most influential mission field and yet the people there struggle with the same issues that we do. This week let’s tackle something that God gave us as a gift: BEAUTY. Beauty is a subject that opens the door for us to share our faith more deeply, to discuss the significance of God’s creation, and for self-reflection. So, let’s grasp the concept of beauty permeating our hearts, from the inside out, and also train ourselves to see beauty in the people and the world around us.
