Is the moon beautiful? I would argue that objectively it is not. The moon is a big rock in the sky that has been struck by asteroids and meteors. It has so many scars. The beauty of the moon is in the reflection of the light from the sun. The moon is magnificent lighting up the night sky. With this reflection, it is truly beautiful. We also are scarred. The beauty that we have is from the reflection of God's awesome love and glory. With this reflection, we are truly beautiful.

Hebrews 11:1-3 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good testimony. By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.

He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me All the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the Lord Forever.
