The Love Within

“Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart.”     

- Kahlil Gibra – American Poet and Artist

 “I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;

Marvelous are Your works,

And that my soul knows very well.”

-     Psalm 139:14 (NKJV)

So often in today’s society we think of beauty as being aesthetics or harmony amongst different features or elements.  In humans, it is whether the features are symmetrical or meet the standards of a society.  But often we talk about inner beauty, which is to describe someone as gentle and loving with a light in the eyes. 

When someone has a light in his or her eyes, it indicates that the person feels loved.  Because we often view someone as beautiful based on external aesthetics, we affect how someone feels inside through our behaviors or the standards we expect in our society.  We all need to feel loved by others, but only the love God is unconditional and sustaining.   When we recognize God perfectly made all of us for a wonderful purpose, we cease to limit others, and ourselves igniting the love of God within.
