As I look outside, at the -1 degree weather and the snow drenched landscape I am reminded of God's complete beauty. Not just His beauty in the things that I find to be beautiful but the beauty in all of his creation. In a culture that defines beauty by size, weight or symmetry we need to be counter-cultural! We need to be an activist! Not the kind of activism that is displayed by yelling and telling others how they need to change! We need to love them and remind them of their beauty, just like Christ did.
So often we like to quote Romans 1 to tell people that there is a God and it is evident through creation! But we forget that we are that same creation. People should be able to look at us, see how we live, and see God's beauty.
Ephesians 2:10 (NIV)
2:10 For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
