Every season of life is managed by God’s care. Let Dian Tinio’s thoughts on His beauty guide you, and let Rebecca Simon’s Finding God Every Day to show how you can see His presence in all seasons. Know Him in your life—read below.
you are beautiful, always. Even when the days aren’t as hot as I thought they would be. Even when my expectations are completely different from the reality. Even if I wake up with a sore back, you are good. Even when my life is not as glamorous as I desire, even when Your provisions are enough for the day. Even if I hold my chest I swear I can feel my heart breaking, you are right.
you are beautiful, always.Even when the promises made to me don’t seem to get me right now. Even though I’m getting desperate and can’t find the right track for me. Even though I spend my whole life looking for ways to win with you, you are right. Even when the barriers are flooded and the sun does not rise and the land suffers from constant drought. God, I believe that You are good.
you are beautiful, always.Even if I’m not there. Even if I am stubborn and disobedient, even if I sin against You, even if I always fail to follow Your voice and make a mistake. You are perfect in loving me, taking care of me, being there for me, helping me. You are perfect in all your ways, even if I am not, even if I am not.
You are always beautiful. Even when I don’t understand anything, even when I sit at the lowest point of my life, even when my daily work is to fight, even when my eyes are dry.
you are beautiful, always. Just because you love me. He likes who I am. And your love, the kind that doesn’t care how dark and ugly and horrible my past is, is the kind of love that wants to know deeply, why I am like this. It is the kind of love that knows every bone in my body, that memorizes every structure within my universe. The kind that knows very well how my heart pumps blood through all my blood vessels, the kind that knows why it pumps, for whom it beats. It’s the kind of love that never gets tired. It’s always fresh and fresh, every morning, every evening.
you are beautiful, always. Even in my pain, he loves me with unceasing love. The kind of love that protects and sends me to the rock to find out that You are the bottom rock. The kind of love that allows situations in my life, situations that sometimes I don’t understand the background, but I’m sure that everything has a purpose to make me a better person. The kind of love that makes me fail an interview and lose a battle just to enjoy a better, brighter and more meaningful future. The kind of love that inspires and motivates me when I live in a hopeless sea. The kind that knows how imperfect I am but loves me regardless.
you are beautiful, always.
He shows me the way, He leads me.
You know what I need, You allow me to lose people and hurt relationships because You know exactly who I need. He releases all kinds of fear and assures me that I can ride the waves with faith. You destroy all other bad things in my life and hold my heart free. He pushes me to fight harder and most of all he acknowledges that I am trying. You are always beautiful. And sometimes, I can’t even describe Your beauty using the best words, nothing is enough to cover how much Your beauty and love protect me.

you are beautiful, always. Just because You were and You always will be. Just because You, who started a good work in me will always be faithful enough to bring it to a good end in Your appointed time. You are always beautiful. Just because despite all the bad things in life, You are still there. And all these bad things do not end Your existence. Not by any means.
