beauty.

your word for the week, everyone!

When you think something is beautiful you gaze at it. You can't help it. You don't yawn and look away. Why do human beings crave beauty? What is that vague longing you feel when you see a majestic mountain range or hear a beautiful piece of music? Maybe its a homing instinct. When you get a glimpse of beauty, of excellence, you feel in you bones that you were made for something better. At some level, the longing for beauty is a longing for God.

"He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end." - Eccl. 3:11
