"The Author of all beauty, Himself a lover of the beautiful, God provided to gratify in His children the love of beauty." Ellen White, Education, p. 41 I am thinking about God this morning. The Bible says we were created in His image, like him. He created us. He made all beauty. He himself is "a lover of the beautiful.' And He created in us, his children, "the love of beauty." I have found in my own experience that when I see beauty, something stirs in me, comes alive. My eye knows when it sees something that reflects the home I was meant to live in, Eden the original garden home. Visual beauty in nature seems to be the pinnacle of beauty on earth, because it is the descendant of the original beauty. Human made beauty can catch the eye, but can fall short of those things that are alive. I haven't seen this Eden home of my ancestors, but somewhere deep in my DNA is a longing to be there.
