“So we know the love that God has for us,
and we trust that love. God is love.
Everyone who lives in love lives in God,
and God lives in them.”
-1 John 4:16 [ESR]

A Time to Think… “Never say there is nothing beautiful in the world anymore. There is always something to make you wonder in the shape of a tree, the trembling of a leaf.” – Albert Schweitzer, theologian and medical doctor

A Time to Act… We so easily see the ugly and not the beauty in this life. Today, when you arise, make it a priority to see God’s beauty in nature and humanity. It’s important to take your time slowly and nourish your soul with God’s beauty and silent presence.

A Time to Pray… Lord, let me see Your beauty in the beautiful things You have made for me. Let my eyes focus on such beauty rather than the secular world that begs me to buy so I can be more beautiful, etc. In you, O Lord, I am beautiful, I am accepted, and I am your beloved child! AMEN.
