Who are the truly beautiful? Are they the celebrities we see on television? Are they the fashion models that wear the finest clothes? Are they the rich and the famous only?
What about those who are patient and true? What about those who are humble and pure? What about those who, instead of trying to improve their physical looks, spend their resources helping the poor, the sick and the dying?
There is a kind of beauty that lasts, a beauty that penetrates the heart and soul without language, without cost, without pretense. Those who follow the path of goodness are those who are truly beautiful.
“True beauty must come, must be grown, from within…” – Ralph Trine
The thing about hope is that it’s a positive force that shines the most when it’s dark. When everything’s going well, we hardly notice it’s there. But when things go against us, when our dreams fade and when we see no immediate reprieve from our troubles, that’s when hope does its best work for us.
