Your Beautiful: A Remix of One Thing

To will One thing: that God becomes the ever-present Object of our affection, time, and love. The Centricity of our being. To will One thing: that He becomes the Center of my life. The Source of all my joy, all my peace, all my hope, all my love, all my faith, all my security.

"One thing have I asked of the Lord,

that I will seek after:

that I may dwell in the house of

The Lord

all the days of my life,

to gaze upon the beauty of the

Lord

and to inquire in his temple."

- David (Psalm 27:4)



If the opposition be in the form of distraction, then my view of the beauty of God is too low. If my sole focus on life be ever changing, then my view of the beauty of God is too low. If I be more interested in my worldly rights (which I have not), then my view of the beauty of God is too low. How may I 'lift my eyes', when they are too low? How may I 'lift my eyes', when they are set on the visible? How may I 'lift my eyes', when they love the world? How may I 'lift my eyes' when my eyes have no knowledge? If I be on the throne, my view of the beauty of God is too low. If my eyes cannot be lifted above my ugliness (that is my sin), how shall they ever cleave unto Beauty? The question that proceeds is thus: Do I Know the Lord as beautiful?

The Beauty of God has no worthy comparison. This is the battle we fight: " We awaken to a world at war for the allegiance of our minds and the affections of our souls. The winner will be whoever can persuade us that he will bring greatest and most soul-satisfying joy." - Sam Storms



Those Whom find Jesus as Victor can now sing:

Your my One thing that I live for;

'to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord'.

Your the One thing that I long for;

'to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord'.
