In the Eye of the Beholder
On a recent afternoon, our three-year-old grandson asked me if he could fix my hair. Of course, I said, “Yes.” I sat down and he climbed up behind me with his big sister’s hair stuff bin. He told me it was going to be, “pretty, pretty, pretty” and handed me a mirror a couple of times so I could see my progress.
Pretty soon his five-year-old sister climbed up beside him and started helping. She said it was going to be “rambunctious.”
Here’s the result. I’ll let you decide which of them was right.
Beauty they say is in the eye of the beholder. I’d say rambunctiousness is in the eye of the beholder, too.
This weekend let’s think about how God beholds us and how He wants us to behold one another.
Therefore from now on we recognize no one according to the flesh; even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him in this way no longer. Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come. Now all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation, namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation.
2 Corinthians 5:16-19
Definitely, “pretty, pretty, pretty”!
You are sweet.
