Beauty In Suffering
Its hard to see beauty in the suffering.
Beauty in suffering. Or the clear drops of dew holding to a green leaf. Beauty in suffering. You are putting your body through something.
This recurring dream Ive had it since I was inside. Or a dog so enthusiastic that it wags its whole body. The point of it all lies in what our whole contemporary cynical world regards as cliché gestures a gentle smile and a simple hug.
I wanted to say God always heals. Finding the beauty in all the suffering is a uniquely wonderful way to look at life. BEAUTY IN THE SUFFERING deals with universal themes of love and loss defeat and resolve and struggle and triumph.

The difficult redemption from exile and slavery the triumph of life over death. It is not making light of suffering to say that there is still beauty on the earth. The beauty of joy born from suffering is all over the pages of Scripture too.
We dont have to waste our suffering. Beauty and suffering can and do exist side-by-side and always have. The beauty lies not in the fact that these people are suffering.
