Beauty in God's eyes.

"God sent the angel Gabriel to the Galilean village of Nazareth to a virgin engaged to be married to a man descended from David. His name was Joseph, and the virgin’s name, Mary. Upon entering, Gabriel greeted her:

Good morning!
You’re beautiful with God’s beauty,
Beautiful inside and out!
God be with you.  "               Luke 1:26 - 28

What a greeting. Angelic visitation.

What did he look  like?

A rush of wind in his wings?

A sudden sense of power, filling the room?

An enormous Presence, a cloud of Heaven's dust?

A whirling, moving, luminous being?

Does it matter?

The words are beyond description. The affirmation

that she, a nobody, is BEAUTIFUL. With GOD'S beauty.

God's favour. Beauty from the inside out.

Beauty of adoration

Beauty of blessedness.

Beauty of character.

Beauty of devotion.

Oh, to be beautiful, to be favoured, for GOD to be glorified in me.
