Beauty is NEVER in the Eyes of the Beholder

I've been having fine arts class and I just love how my teacher explained about Plato's thoughts on the topic: Beauty. She told us that Plato, one of those guys from the Renaissance period (or the "classics" HEHE), questioned true beauty. Plato stated something like:

"True beauty is beyond human perception."

How is everything around us beautiful if it's subject to change?
How is it beautiful when it decays in the end?

My teacher went on, concluding that "True beauty is ETERNAL." What we have or invented here on earth is artificial beauty. Everything is just an imitation of real beauty which is perfection (something that we can't find here on earth).

So what then is true beauty?

Imagine a painter who just finished his artwork. I could picture the smile on his face as he is satisfied with his work and sees it as beautiful. Others wouldn't probably agree that they find it beautiful. They would just see it as plain normal artwork. They say "Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder", but the truth is, it's not. That is what we call taste. On the other hand, creates something, it is undeniably beautiful.

Since God is eternal and created the things of this world, then we know that everything He created here is BEAUTIFUL. It's just man distorting the meaning or image of beauty.

Whenever we feel like we need to go with the flow or we feel insecure with our identity, we should always remember that God created us, therefore we are beautiful. Our worth is not based on what people say about us, but what God says about us. And He says we are, of course, fearfully and wonderfully made. God created each and every one of us as unique individuals.

Always remember:

JESUS THINKS THAT YOUR WORTH DYING FOR. ^^

"I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well."  - Psalm 139:14 (NIV)

Reading the Bible isn't Boring

It's funny how some people don't believe the Bible. It's like saying that they don't believe in algebra or history books. Throughout the history, the Bible has been banned or burned in some places, but it has survived up until now. And it's funny how the book that some people don't believe in has always been the best selling book ever since it was made. The best selling novels like "Harry Potter", "Narnia", or "The Hunger Games" cannot even compare to the sales of the Bible.

I bet those people who don't believe in the Bible haven't even tried reading it on a daily basis. They haven't witnessed the power of this book which has transformed the lives of many. I can even testify to that. ^^


The Bible is one of the tools God uses to talk to us. It contains the truth (John 17:17) and I also believe that it is a love letter from God. The Bible is a tale about a Father's love for His children; A humble King who sacrificed Himself for His beautiful princesses and His noble princes. And the best part of it is that, it's not a fairytale. It's all real.  :">

"He (Jesus) came to deliver us. When you understand that, reading the Bible becomes a delight." - Joshua Harris (Dug Down Deep)

Reading the Bible is not boring. Once a person understands what God has done for them, how heavy their sins are and how great God's love is, that person will have the habit of reading this book and meditate on it.

"Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful." - Joshua 1:8 (NIV)
