Beautiful People
True relational beauty can’t be determined by the natural senses alone, nor from emotional responses that occur when meeting someone for the first time. True beauty is the demonstrated and consistent attitude of thinking about the needs of others first, before self, through the motivation of pure and unconditional love. This kind of love is founded on unchanging and unmovable truth, in the absence of absolute truth, it can not exist. Thus if you are applying the term beautiful and citing a naturally occurring reason for the claim, then it is merely limited beauty that will eventually pass away. But if the beauty that you are witnessing comes from faith in a purity of spirit that extends beyond the natural senses, then this beauty will last for as long as that faith exists. A beautiful Spirit thus is not dependent on the physical and it will last long after the physical beauty fades, and understanding absolute truths can reveal the evil hiding behind any false naturally occurring beauty. A tiger is a very beautiful creature, but each graceful and elegant step that it takes is deceptive, and it is done in the spirit of death. Though it may look harmless and even playful, the eyes of a tiger are constantly looking for its next prey, and its attitude is towards fulfilling its own immediate needs and desires.
This is why spirit is of a higher order than natural, and why faith is superior to reason.

Well written my friend. That is so true about the beautiful spirit and that it is what's in the ❤️ that matters not what's in the 👀 lol
Really nailed it with your words. Love it!
Have a continuing happy holiday!
I so agree with you @deaconlee!!!! years ago I was asked who I thought of my friends was the ugliest....weird question I know but young girls will be young.......and I answered truthfully that none of my friends were ugly, that as a matter of fact, they were all beautiful.......which of course got me thinking........you see your friends souls and what they look like on the outside becomes just a shell. Thank you for this lovely post to start my morning!
what for you "unchanging and unmovable truth"?
What is true is always true and never becomes false. So if I say that I love you it can either be the truth or a lie, it can not be both. If the statement is really true then I love you now and always will, but if the statement can change due to time or circumstances and become false, then it really was never true in the first place. This is the way that it is for anything that is eternal, temporal things can change back and forth between true or false, but the eternal always remains the same. Spirit is eternal, and the spirit of truth is beautiful, and that truth never changes. 🙂
Thanks for answer
