Hidden Gifts of Beauty By Brenda Drake

            I wonder how many gifts of love pass us by unseen.  The truth of God’s love and Jesus’ provision is the greatest display of love. It indeed is unrecognized by many lost souls.  Lord, help us clearly testify of the love you extended to us to help others see the beauty of salvation.

Hidden Gifts of Beauty  

Camouflaged are some beautiful things;
You must be prepared or they pass by unseen.
Love many times is as close as a breath away.
It can and is expressed and shown in multitudes of ways.
Words gentle, motives pure, uplifting advice, with touch kind;
Has beauty with invisible treasures to find.
The Word of faith, with a light touch;
Has evidence of a precious offering of love.
Many things of value are taken for granted; even despised;
Such as the rays of the sun or the gleam in another’s eye.
Man does not always appreciate the gifts given them,
Time is wasted; it marches on never to return again.
People and situations change all of the time;
With opportunity to even more treasures find.
Take time to feel the heartbeat and dream of another hear,
For in a moment of time they may out of your life disappear.
God reveals camouflaged-beauty in an unlikely place;
At the cross when the true gospel is embraced.
Jesus’ love is greater and more powerful than you know.
He saw the great need in your lost soul.
He came to earth and died so you could be set free;
He saw the beauty that one day would be,
Without Him no value within is recognized,
But with Him precious and beautiful you are in the Father’s eyes.

Philippians 4:8-9
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.  Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.

Song of Songs 4:7
Thou art all fair, my love; there is no spot in thee.
