I believe it was Stendhal who said “Beauty is
the promise of happiness.”
Today I was reading a book called “Answers in the Heart” a daily meditation for
men and women who are recovery from sexual addictions. In one of its chapters
it read:
Often we are too busy or self-absorbed to notice what is beautiful in people &
in the world around us. We hurry along focused on ourselves, inattentive to
what really makes life worth living.
I couldn’t agree more.
The world is filled with beauty – twilight over a lake, a child’s laughter, a
scene in a movie, the sun on a stone wall, a weeping willow, a lively song, our
beloved’s face. If we are attentive & learn to slow down, we will see all
around us signs of beauty that speak directly to us.
We do not have to go to exotic places to find beauty. It is here, in our lives,
all around us. Finding it, we carry it with us & our lives are enriched. The
language of beauty is the language of joy.
Application and Implementation
As I become more attentive to the beauty that is all around me, I find my life
becoming happier & more deeply spiritual.
This week I will stop praying so hard for my character defects & difficulties
to be removed. Instead I will rest in the fact that God has my life in His
hands, if I will allow Him to carry me I can take the time to see His beauty
all around me.
How can this not bring me a spirit of happiness?
This is Monty’man wishing
“Serenity For You!
