-  Have a Beautiful Life  

Beauty in your life comes when you demonstrate the reality of God´s existence by how graceful you live (your life) each day in your actions and interactions with your fellow human beings.

Recently Frank was speaking with an associate John whom he had worked with for only two weeks. As they conversed and laughed together, he sensed that Johh was a very angry and unhappy mmn. Frank sensed he was struggling with something, and he longed to help him.

We all have struggles in our lives.   Are you confused, frustrated, angry, anxious and unhappy with your life?   Take heart dear friend; you are like the rest of us.

Do you recall the perfect Parent who had two perfect children, and placed them in a garden?
Well, they too had their own struggles and had to finally leave home in sadness.
However, that's not the end of the story. God, the perfect parent, made them coverings of clothes before they left home. He didn't write them off.
We too, must never write people off.

Frank did not judge John; he didn't know his situation; and he was hesitant to ask. He did not understand the struggles of his heart. But he cared for John because mercy is more powerful than judgment.

Mercy is love in demonstration. It's a LOVE that covers, that cleanses, caresses, consoles, carries and comforts those who struggle under the burdens of life's many challenges. Yes, showing mercy, and caring for and about others make a beautiful life.

We daily bask in the glory of God's LOVE. In Ephesians 3:17-19, Paul prays that YOU, being rooted and grounded in LOVE, may come to KNOW the LOVE of God which surpasses human understanding.
- Yes, LOVE sees the beauty of life, in spite of our struggles. -

A beautiful life is:
1. Seeing God's Love
2. Knowing God's Love
3. Understanding God's Love
And the perfect Parent?  Yes, because He didn't write us off,  He LOVED us back into wholeness.   It's easy to throw stones;  but mercy:  ah what a beautiful life! Show mercy to that person, instead.
You will experience that abundant life which God, the perfect Parent, has prepared for you.

Friend, your calling is not to be hopeless.   Your calling is to be hopeful
God's will is to give you a preferred future: the future you prefer.
 
     
 For I know the plans that I have for you, says the Lord.
They are plans for good and not for evil,
to give you a future and a hope.
 Jeremiah 29:11

 
 
   

Read Jeremiah 29:11, and see for yourself. It is wonderful to arise at sunrise to clear blue skies - To behold the beauty of another day and feel so good inside.

Indeed: Beauty in your life comes from/when you demonstrate, each day, the reality of God´s existence by how graceful you live (your life) each day in your actions and interactions with your fellow human beings.
Have a beautiful life!
