A life does not need to be great to be beautiful. There may be as much beauty in a tiny flower as in a majestic tree, in a little gem as in a great mountain, in the smallest creature as in a massive one. A life may be very lovely and yet insignificant in the world's eyes.
A beautiful life fulfills its mission in this world and is what God made it to be, doing what God created it to do. Those with only common gifts are in danger of thinking that they cannot live a beautiful life, cannot be a blessing in this world. But the most obscure life that fills its place well is far lovelier in God's sight than the grandest and most splendidly gifted life that still fails its divine mission.

Romans 8:6 ... For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
Colossians 2:7 ... Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. ❤
