The Beauty Skeptic.

Previously i had a very cynical view on beauty, i did not think of its significance nor importance. But recently i have been thinking, Beauty and Grace can only come from above. It is something heavenly to behold. Dream a world without flowers, they sometimes may seem useless, they don't seem to have much significance nor importance. Or don't they? The world would definitely be so dull and lifeless without flowers! Even a random bright and cheery flower growing at the side of the sidewalk may bring much colour to the once dull pathway.

Some people say, the gift of giving flowers is pointless, " they die anyway ". Well they live too! and while they live at least they gave something that does so much for the soul.

Flowers bring joy, happiness, beauty, spontaneous delight, aroma and healing. They bring us more than we give them credit for.

It is interesting to see how before a tree bears fruits, it blossoms into a flower and the flower dies a fruit. The beauty of the flower is like a momentary display of what is to come next, but in a different packaging, that is consumed not by sight but by taste. First we see its beauty, then we taste it. How beautiful the way God makes things! Perhaps the hope we see in the flowers, gives us the comfort in knowing the fruit would taste good. How can a flower produce something that would taste foul! Most often than not, fruits are sweet . Beauty and sweet delight intertwine.

There is value in beauty.

"Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these." - Luke 12:27

God compared beauty to the flowers! He created them to be beautiful. And beauty is a reflection of the Father and what He makes.

I guess sometimes i've felt like a flower, and did not feel like i had any significants or importance in the talents i was given. But i am proving myself wrong, i am trusting my Maker.

I'll be a happy flower.

 (So this are to the flowers out there, be happy to be one. )
