Beauty Matters... and we may choose to reflect it...

A NEW day... we can be standing in the exact same spot... and how it presents itself can be completely different than the last.  Beauty Matters, and we can choose to reflect that in the blessing of the day... no matter how it presents itself.
True confession, still avoiding 'thinking' because of that tear when do- that it allows.  Continuing to battle to surrender... an oxymoron in diction as it is in life.  The reality of it is its exactly where we need to be no matter what or how the day presents itself.  "Let go, let God" !!! In other words, and have been reciting that command to self.  Because there, at surrender to God- Complete surrender-

is the GOOD in the unknowing of what even to hope for.  Yes, the battle to surrender perhaps the great oxymoron of life indeed.  Simply knowing that by faith - GOOD are God's Plans.
AND that His exceedingly more than we can even imagine- demands our 'all' to let lose, let go, for us to see... with eyes of faith- not sight.

YES we MUST continually work hard with our own hands; NOT be slackers, and not be a selfish pity party celebration too. Of course 'sadness' in life enters in, of course there will be tears.

The rose perhaps its grand illustration.  Or the sea the grand illustration of grief.  This the time of year when we all emphasize what we have to be thankful for in this life.  Its a GOOD place to start every day.  Even when a day comes and you only see that list of all thankful for through tears.  Truth remains, blessings & God's exceedingly more not only remains- JOY abounds.
Happiness is but temporal.
JOY is eternal.  We may hold on to that truth when the beautiful rose pricks us... or the beautiful sea has crashing waves... then a calm, only to roll in again... another crashing. 
Simply-
Roses remain beautiful
So does the sea...
So does the day
So does this life... and thankfulness for this blessing of a day that the Lord has made - that we truly may rejoice and be glad in it.  Thank You God JOY remains in Your Sovereignty. 

so in all the prayer- may the work of these hands honor and glorify You God- and reflect Your beauty that You inspire these eyes to see- especially when they choose to see by faith, not by sight.  Yes Beauty matters, and we may always chose to reflect that ...in all that we see- Godspeed.
