Beauty as Benediction

Scripture  

Ecclesiastes 3:11 (NRSV)  

He has made everything suitable for its time;  

moreover, He has put a sense of eternity into their minds,  

yet they cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end.

Refrain  

Beauty blesses me when I slow down to see.

Quote

Makoto Fujimura, from Art + Faith

“Beauty is not a luxury.  

It is not an afterthought.  

Beauty is a door into transcendence.  

It is how God heals what is broken.  

To create is to lean into hope.  

To behold beauty is to say—  

even if only for a moment—  

that life is worth living.”
