Every once in a while you get the opportunity to meet a person who changes your life – may it be just a little, maybe only for a moment. Someone who’s just beautiful – not in anything they specifically say or do, just in the way they are.
It’s in the little things. I’m a firm believer in the vast power little things hold because they represent a way of life. I am moved by this because these people prove without a single debate that these simple actions are a part of who they are. It’s an infinite painting of their identity for the entire world to experience, not the glimpse of a fleeting image.
And sometimes you’ll want to be like them. Or be inspired by them. Or want to learn from them. Or get to know them better. Or just be their friend. It’s not about how they feel about you…it’s just the opportunity to be around them and learn from them…that’s more than enough.
Even if it’s just for a day, it’s like a little present from God to experience what they have to offer. I always feel so much thankfulness for that.
DISCLAIMER!: It’s not as if there are only certain characteristics that make someone beautiful. NOT AT ALL! REBUKE THAT LIE, DEAR READER!
I just think it’s mainly someone unapologetically and courageously walking around as who they are with humility. Which is a lot like what the Holy Spirit gives to us when we allow Jesus to transform our lives. Which means the gift is open to everyone. Oh, man, I’m inspired now.
to the fullest
