Ugly is Beautiful

Think about it. God, our Creator, has pretty much the Biggest Imagination ever. He is the Most creative Being. He created this world, the universe, you, everything. And I am in awe of it, because all of His creation IS beautiful. Yeah, you may look at dangerous neighborhoods filled with graffiti and whatnot, and think, "This place looks awful". I admit, even I would say that. But that's because of man. Man dirties up God's creation. Yet, that place would still be beautiful because it's creative and different. If you think about it, is it possible for God to create something that is disgusting, revolting, and/or ugly? I don't think so. Take time to just sit, be still, and take in God's beautiful creation. And when someone says they're ugly, just tell them, "You can't be ugly. God's creation is beautiful, and He created you". And never tell yourself that you're ugly, either. It's true, even I may think "oh, that person didn't look very good tonight", but I think it's just human nature. We have this thing about being critical or worrying about our looks/the looks of people/things.
I'm not saying there's anything wrong with trying to pretty yourself up or a place up. Because if you don't do anything you will come across as un-professional or like you don't care if a guest comes to your house and you have pizza lying on the floor and drinks spilled on the table. But if you really think about it...everything about God's creation is amazing and beautiful. Sometimes I'll tell myself, "I look terrible in that picture", but I just gotta remind myself, that God doesn't think so.
I hope that made sense...maybe it doesn't...I wasn't entirely sure how to explain it, but to sum it up, ugly is beautiful.

  1. Good stuff, Amber. :)

    In terms of His creation, I agree, what He made is beautiful.

    In terms of what we do with His creation, that can certainly be ugly. Like you said, 'man dirties up God's creation.'
