102|366...We caught this rainbow the other day out the attic window by the #lochviewtree There is something in me that longs to see beauty. I think this longing is in all of us but our culture struggles so much to define this deep need. I came across this quote by Tim Keller that I keep rereading... “It fits to glorify God — it not only fits reality, because God is infinitely and supremely praiseworthy, but it fits us as nothing else does. All the beauty we have looked for in art or faces or places — and all the love we have looked for in the arms of other people — is only fully present in God himself... “Jonathan Edwards once said: ‘God is glorified not only by His glory’s being seen, but by its being rejoiced in.’ It is not enough to say, ‘I guess he is God, so I have got to knuckle under.’ You have to see his beauty. Glorifying God does not mean obeying him only because you have to. It means to obey him because you want to — because you are attracted to him, because you delight in him... We need beauty.” A photo posted by Jenna Mace (@jbmace) on Apr 11, 2016 at 7:04am PDT
