Beauty ~
















Fix your eyes on the infinite beauty of God. You will constantly discover the beauty anew. And it will constantly seem strange, because it is different from what the mind normally conceives.

As you look upon God's beauty, He will continue to reveal Himself to you ever more fully. And, as He reveals himself, your desire to see Him will increase.

You will sense the beauty you see now, is merely a hint of the glorious beauty yet to be revealed.

... you will come to realize that the true satisfaction of your desire consists in the quest for God , in never ceasing to ascend towards Him-- and in desiring Him ever more intensely.

Gregory of Nyssa
