We Are His Beautiful Children

I am a child of God. You are a child of God. We are all children of our Heavenly Father and he loves us very much. A love that is so pure and beautiful. A love that can bring pure happiness. At times we get so caught up in the world and it's distractions we forget who we are. Our desires and wants begin to be for those things which can not bring us true happiness. Our understanding of the true meaning of beauty becomes distorted by the standards and expectations of the world. We began to compare ourselves to those who are on the movie screens or the runways. In magazines and on posterboards. We lose sight of the beauty that each and everyone of us has. The beauty that is in each of our hearts.

Yesterday we met with a man who is an amazing example of how to love others as Christ did. Who shows his beauty from within his heart. He was beat up a few days ago and was in a lot of pain and was uncontrolably shaking. He was in pretty bad shape but not once did he show anger or wrath against those who hurt him. He began to cry while he was talking with us. Not because of his physical pain but because he had so much sorrow in his heart. He said that when he looked at them he saw them as family and it hurt him to see them doing something so wrong. However he kept saying how he is glad that it was him. He rather get hurt himself than someone else. There was a lot more said but in all his words you could tell how much love he had for the people. How he was still willing to forgive those who hurt him.

I know that he is a child of God. I know that I am a child of God. I know that the more we come to know Christ and strive to be closer to him, we will begin to see those things wich truly matter in life. We will began to understand what true beauty is. We will recognize that we are all Children of God and notice their beauty which is inside. We will begin to know how to love others more.
