Joy, Beauty
Joy is very powerful. It is a state of our heart. It comes from trusting God and hoping in God.
Joy is one third of Kingdom of God. "For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit." (Romans 14:17)
Joy comes from being in the presence of God. "You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand."(Psalm 16:11)
Beauty comes from within rather than from what is seen in the outside. "True beauty comes from a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious to God."(1 Peter 3:3-4)
Jesus is the beautiful one.
One thing I have desired of the Lord,
That will I seek:
That I may dwell in the house of the Lord
All the days of my life,
To behold the beauty of the Lord,
And to inquire in His temple. (Psalm 27:4)
