The Definition of Beauty

Location

Beauty, it was never meant to have a definition.

Beauty was meant to be looked at with fascination.

 

If you think beauty is more than the surface of your skin.

Then you have started at a good place to begin.

 

 When you realize who matters, you realize what is real and true;

That everything you were taught about beauty was already in you.

 

The moment that man defined what it meant to be beautiful

Was the exact moment beauty lost its depth and was no longer meaningful.

 

We always say the beauty is in the eye of the beholder,

But we make fun of each other if they don't agree with us and say its counter culture.

 

Most of us see beauty with a lustful view.

Society defined beauty but you cannot let them define you.

 

Now if you weren't too careful, then this is the only type of beauty that you've ever known.

But it’s not your fault because society has transformed us into sex-driven mindless drones.

 

How can we define what beauty is, when we aren't the ones who made it?

We didn't create beauty in any way.

So why do we insist on saying beauty is dependent on how much you weigh.

 

The beauty about beauty is that it cannot be explained,

It cannot be defined, replicated or made.

 

Beauty simply exists, it always has and always will.

You can put a price on an art piece but it means nothing if you never learn the value the artist’s skill.

 

So let me tell you about the one who brought beauty into existence.

It's not a coincidence

That people try to hide his significance.

If people can cover up or explain his evidence

Than they take precedence

And can then sell you their own intelligence.

It's all a scam so that you never reach repentance

Or believe that God is truly omnipotent

Because God spoke beauty in existence

He made sure he said "Let us make man in our image."

 

God spoke beauty from his mouth because beauty is inside of Him.

Every day you see beauty but the reality is that you see part of God in a glimpse.

 

Whether you choose to believe that what I say is the truth or a lie,

Doesn’t change the fact that beauty is in the sky or even a butterfly.

There is beauty in life

And beauty in the light.

If you fail to give credit to the artist it's an insult and impolite.

 

So it's time to give credit to this artist because it's way overdue.

This artist created beauty with you in His view.

 

You recognize an artist by his works,

This artist created the Earth’s beauty with His words.

 

But He took His time on mankind,

He gave breath to man so that he could be divine.

 

He loved His creation so much that He sent His son to die for me and you,

So it's time to acknowledge, appreciate and pursue.

The master of beauty and creation.

Before any of us can be creative it starts with imitation.

 

But God was the first for everything. He made man from dirt like it was nothing.

His love is unlike anything,

It's unfailing, astonishing, breath-taking,

His love is forgiving, flourishing and living.

 

I've never heard of an artist so in love with his creation.

A love so great there will never be separation

Or expectation.

 

So let's get back to what it means to be beautiful.

It starts with acknowledging your creator and knowing you are useful.

 

Beauty isn't measured with a tape measure.

It isn't defined by your make up or what's in your dresser.

 

Beauty is who you are, and no one can ever take that away from you.

Never let anyone tell you that you aren't beautiful, or try to lessen your value.

 

You might truly believe that your value or beauty don’t exist

But I know otherwise so it’s time for you to believe this.

 

Maybe you think that you don't feel worthy to be alive, and just feel so dirty and gross.

Maybe you don't do the things you should do, and do the things that you hate the most.

 

Never think God made a mistake when you were made.

Because God wants to show His love, and use you as the display.

 

Self-esteem is the most important thing that you can have.

So don't let other people tear off pieces of yours and throw it in the trash.

 

Society has made self-image the number one goal.

They say confidence is key but they never tell you that confidence comes from the soul.

 

How you see yourself is vital in order to love who you are.

You might see yourself as broken or a lost cause but you are a beautiful piece of art.

 

An artist buys supplies and creates a masterpiece

The value of the art goes up with his expertise.

 

You were created by the one who created it all

This means that your value is anything but small.

 

He knew every organ, every cell and every tissue.

Before time began, he knew what you would do.

You were intricately woven,

And you were given immeasurable value.

 

Don't be fine with being mediocre

 even if you mess up over and over,

God is still the composer.

 

Other people will constantly make fun of you.

They will make you feel like you aren't of any value.

 

They did not make you and they don't know who you are.

So what gives them the right judge someone else's art.

 

You were created to reflect the qualities of your creator,

So change your attitude and behavior,

Because you’re not a failure,

There is no artist whose work is greater.

 

Your beauty and value are connected

You were created to be respected

Which means you won't always be accepted

And your focus should be make sure God is always reflected.
