Beautiful In You

Thank you, all of you, His saints, who desperately seek Him, and love Him, and overflow Him. It’s your heart’s longing, it’s His overflowing, and it’s beautiful.

So beautiful.

His overflowing through you, the surrendered one who knows not how, not why, not even when. But Who. Yes you, who knows Who. You, who knows the One Who is beautiful. Thank you. For when He is beautiful to you, He is beautiful for the world to see, in you. And it’s beautiful.

It’s how He has orchestrated it to be. His beauty shining through every mistake, in every let-down, through every weak moment, in every hurt and heartache and frustration. He has designed it that way. For His beauty to show. For His beauty to shine, in and all around you, as you desperately seek Him.

For you are not to know how. You are not to understand why. You are only to seek Him.

And His glory is all around. The moment you pause to look. The moment you stop to wait. The moment you cease doing to rest. His glory is seen all around then. And in that moment you seek Him, His glory, His beauty, and His power is in you, overflowing through you. For you to see. For the world to see. Him.

So thank you. For your surrender in the falling. For your giving up in the striving. For your stopping in the moment. To see Him. For then you show Him. And all the world will see. Him.

And He is glorified! He is lifted high! For He is beautiful! In you.

“For thus says the One who is high and lifted up, who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: ‘I dwell in the high and holy place, and also with him who is of a contrite and lowly spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly, and to revive the heart of the contrite.’” - Isaiah 57:15

“...he has made you beautiful.” - Isaiah 60:9
