Real Beauty

We are made for beauty. It drives us—our urges, our longings. We love beautiful things.

We love new babies, and new cars, and beautiful forests, and mountains, and rivers.

There is a type of beauty that takes us past the surface-level longing. The prophet Isaiah, from the Bible, tells us that Jesus had no beauty or majesty to attract us to Him.

He put His beauty—His glory—aside so that we could see what real, eternal beauty looks like. So that we could see that, even in our brokenness, we can be beautiful—that He alone can make beauty out of the ashes of our lives.

Are you longing for beauty in your life?

Always remember there is hope with God.

“Are you longing for beauty in your life?”

Isaiah 53:2

“My servant grew up in the Lord’s presence like a tender green shoot, like a root in dry ground. There was nothing beautiful or majestic about his appearance, nothing to attract us to him.”
