Beautiful People

Take a look at me

So you can see how beautiful you are

I know I can't make you stay,

But I would give my final breath

To make you understand how beautiful you are

Understand how beautiful you are

I heard this song, "Stranger" by Second Hand Serenade, while with a couple friends who are big fans. I don't really know much of the guys music, but when I heard those lines up there, oh my heart just melted as I pondered them in my mind. This didn't bring the typical romantic thoughts to my mind. As I heard those lines and just kind of whispered them about in my mind, I thought about how this seems to be what Jesus speaks to us. When we turn our eyes to Christ, we see what we are created for and our own beauty-not because of anything we are on our own but because of who we are in HIM.

And then it made me think of something else. God's Spirit is in me. When others see me, I want them to see how beautiful they are, I want them to see that they are worth something, I want them to see that they are divinely loved by their Creator-by their Father.

So, what do people see when they look at us? What do we want them to see? What do they need to see? Are we selfless enough to let them see Christ instead of ourselves?

People are beautiful. Not in self's eyes, but in the eyes of Love they were created for.
