Beautiful People

This post is kind of an in-depth addition to Julia's previous post.
Have you ever realized that when you get to know someone better, their faces become more beautiful to you? There's got to be something about that that has to do with psychology. Maybe it's that when someone becomes more familiar to you, it's more comfortable to you and for that reason you can easily accept the familiarity of their appearance.

But I think more than that everything links back to God's hand in things, that he created us and chose us to have the natural features we have. Just a tiny change to someone's face is extremely noticeable and can completely change how they look, the angle of a nose, the cheekiness of someone's smile, the shape of one's eyebrows, an extra wrinkle in a smile, the width of an eye. There are just so many combinations of features that go into a face, and for that reason each face is absolutely unique, just as God planned it. What's more, God planted a future, a plan, a personality into each one of our hearts. When you combine that special unique face with a particular personality, you get a life that is absolutely one-of-a-kind - unrepeatable and irreplaceable. That's the catch: every life is precious and beautiful.

It is the norm in society to love people who are physically beautiful. But how about we begin loving people in order find the great beauty that lies behind their appearances, the beauty of their souls that make their physical beauty amazing in every single way. Because everlasting beauty is found within, it's a beauty that will never die. Perfect skin and luscious hair will inevitably fade with time, but personality and purpose won't. Society doesn't decide who's the most beautiful, God does and he made each individual beautiful and unrepeatable, precious beyond measure.
