Life is Beautiful

As God continues to heal my brokenness, He is teaching me to enjoy the simple things: a laugh with a friend, the smell of flowers on a breezy day, or a relaxing moment in the sun. Life is beautiful.

I look forward to the time when all will be made new and right. A time when there will be no more sorrow and every tear will be wiped away. When beauty is no longer tainted by evil. . . When beauty is all there is. Until then, I will enjoy the little things, and use the temporary pain of this life to learn to appreciate beauty all the more.

Rev 21:1-4: Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."

Life is Beautiful by Sixx: A.M.
NOTE: I think the song is cool - the video is disturbing and I was slightly oblivious to that when I originally posted.
