The Joy and Fear of being known.

Do you believe that there's beauty in everyone? Every person bears the image of God inside of them. Behind every face, image, projection, impression, mask, expression, personality, good or bad is a beautiful person. It is real. All that is not beautiful is not of the original design. It has been pressed on, put on, to survive, to exist but not to live and love.
We can believe and uncover the beautiful person inside ourself and others. I will be a freer person, more alive to live and to love and be loved. If you sit down with me. linger over hellos and goodbyes - maybe we can talk and listen. We can reveal, show, to bare our souls, to discover the truly Inside. To be heard, to be known, to be understood, to be okayed, to be accepted, to belong, to connect, to be loved, to be real, honest, - just to be.
May be it is time we discover the lost art of truly being and living in this crazy, mad, " I need to perform to be significant" external, plastic, temporal cosmos.
No touch and go. Stay and touch each others soul - beautiful souls.

=) Catchy and sweet article. The Lord's love has enormous height, width, and depth. Each member of the body of Christ may display different dimensions of His love. Like you said..."there's beauty in everyone". As the body of Christ fellowship and "blend", we minister to each other, love one another...so that our Father in Heaven will be glorified.
