Beauty is all around us. It’s in everything. The question is not whether it exists in a person/place or not, but rather “am I looking deep enough?” Sometimes even “obvious” beauty beckons us to look deeper.

By now, you’ve probably already seen the viral video known as “Double Rainbow” (You know. The YouTube video where some hippy dude almost spontaneously combusts when he sees a rainbow in the Yosemite Valley). It’s hilarious, but also quite touching. The viewer gets an intimate glimpse of a man becoming overwhelmed by the majesty of beauty. He actually becomes so overwhelmed that he can’t help but cry out, “What’s this mean?!” (Check it out below)

Beauty beckoned him closer and required the question – “What’s this mean?” That’s because when we come in contact with true beauty, we engage with our creator- who is beauty.  When we see a rainbow that captivates the soul, or even a person for that matter, we catch a glimpse of our heavenly father.

David understood the source and pure allure of beauty. He once said, ” This I will seek: to remain in the Lord’s house all the days of my life in order to gaze at the Lord’s beauty and to search for an answer in his temple.” The next time you see something beautiful appreciate it and know that there’s even more where that came from.
