Every divine work has beauty as God’s signature. This is the difference between Him and Satan. The Lord made everything according to His nature, but in the works of the enemy, there isn’t and there won’t be a sign of beauty. Whoever contemplates the landscape of the world, from a small flower, realizes that there is a Being capable and wise enough to be honored as the Creator of all things.
The birds with their songs and their varied colors, blended in such perfection that man can never imitate. The fish, which feed us with their flesh, possess the same wisdom as the other animals. They also communicate in a way that is incomprehensible to us, but perfect. Who could make such wonders, like the fruits, which are not only nutritious, but also tasty?
The grain grows in the grass, then comes the stalk, and finally the much desired grain. They are beautiful in their time, but soon grow old. If we stop using them, we will lose the nutritional properties that do us so much good. Man’s lack of wisdom leads him to throw away what could be of great help to him. We err by not studying what we have been given!
Man is distinguished from every creature, for he was made in the image and likeness of God, thus, he is superior. They say that the Most High made us to be His companions; however, unfortunately, many do not think so, and some even deny His existence. We will never cease to exist, because the Lord has put eternity in our spirit. But anyone who fails to accept Jesus’ death on the Cross for mankind – will not inherit the Kingdom of Light!
The redeemed will go to the Father’s House, where many dwellings await them (John 14.2). But the unconverted will never taste the new birth and will experience the second death – complete separation from the Lord. This is too serious! Yet people are like madmen seeking pleasures, riches, instead of salvation in Christ.
It is impossible, no matter how hard one tries, to discover the work that God has done in all the ages of creation. Only the saved will ascend with Jesus into the Kingdom of perfection. Why do so many people stop believing in the One who made us? We are the only creature that learns to the point of evolving, but there are those who prevent the Truth from being revealed to them, and they will be separated from the Creator!
The voice of Truth knocks in the hearts of people who do not yet understand why they need to be converted. This has to happen, otherwise – they will continue to march towards endless doom and torment. Awaken to the Truth, before the Great Day!
In Christ, with love,

Lord of beauty! We thank You for creating us in Your image and likeness. It makes us sure that we are beautiful, even though we don't feel it. Having Your nature thrills us, for You have made nothing false, but according to Your essence!
Since we are eternal, even though we are not yet all that we will be after Your return and the consequent transfer into Your Kingdom, we can believe what Your Word says. You are beautiful and perfect, for out of You comes the purest truth!
When we are on the other side, living in Your full presence, we will learn that You made us for a purpose far greater than we can think or imagine. Preserve each of us in the purity of faith. Then we will be found worthy of the holy work!
