God took time to create us, one by one.
The bible says in Jeremiah 1:5 (NLT)
“I knew you before I formed you in your mother’s womb. Before you were born I set you apart and appointed you as my prophet to the nations.” God, the same Being who holds time in His hand, created this universe and single handedly takes care of over 6 billion human beings plus another +30 million living organisms(that is yet a wild guess), took time time to create us, one by one and make provision for us.
Beauty according to the secular world in comparison to God's original idea, is daringly different. While we may seek beauty from the outside in(excuse the cliche), God sees through our flesh, searches our hearts, and sees vessels worth an infinite amount.
We fall short, tremendously but His grace catches us midair and sets us back where we should be: in the palm of His hand or somewhere, loosely frolicking in the great expanse of His Holy-oh-so-frighteningly-clean-mostly-perfect robe.
The point is, we were an originally beautiful creation, until sin came into the picture and removed us from God, but could never take that characteristic away from us. Immersed in sin, is treasure only God possesses a map marked 'X' for. Jesus makes us beautiful again, by taking the sin we would be condemned for as His own.
Here are lyrics to a song(and the video above) by Gungor, that's been in my heart this past weekend:
Gungor - Beautiful Things
All this pain
I wonder if I’ll ever find my way
I wonder if my life could really change at all
All this earth
Could all that is lost ever be found
Could a garden come up from this ground at all
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us
All around
Hope is springing up from this old ground
Out of chaos life is being found in You
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us
You make me new, You are making me new
You make me new, You are making me new
You are making me new
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us
You make me new, You are making me new
You make me new, You are making me new
