Beauty Beyond the Skin

Beauty Beyond The Skin



Beauty in the ancient past must have been far more than skin deep and a sight for sore eyes

Every person, place, and thing in the entire universe was unmarred, unscarred, and undisturbed

Animals roamed freely, being at peace with each other; never having to kill or be killed for survival

Unlike our present world of savagery and misery; of insecurity and incivility, that we have come to know

Time heals all wounds they say; so let’s take hold of the hands of time while there is still time

Imagination of the portrait that God painted with His creative hands,  helps erase the ugliness

Families ever intact; fortunes not idolized; food enough for all; fleeting fame, never to be worshiped

Until we all learn to love for who we are, as simply God’s creative beings, we will never experience beauty

Love never fails; it will never hate; it does not boast itself; it builds up others, and wishes the best for them
