Just got back from an absolutely amazing surf with a pair of beautiful dolphins. They were playing in the clear water just a few metres away – swimming, jumping, catching waves. One swam under me, my mate tried to touch the other, and even surfed next to one for a bit! It was exhilarating – I was out of breath and was speechless. All I could do was shout and laugh at how beautiful they were. And I was moved to praise the creativity of our Creator – if He can create such beauty, how much more beautiful must He be.
Thank you Lord for beaches, blue skies, clear water, waves, dolphins, and a good mate to share it all with.

I never liked it when people said a version of your last line, it implies that only pretty people can make pretty things.
If God exists there’s nothing to say he looks beautiful at all. For all you know he could be a disgusting slug creature
Hmmm…
What if God defines beauty?
Okay last line of the first paragraph, whatever.
I figured that was what you meant. My question still stands…
Do you mean that God himself is the definition of beauty, or that God decides what is and isn’t beautiful
Yes, the former – what if God is the definition of beauty? What if what we call ‘beauty’ is beautiful because it reflects a sliver of God’s glory?
