Beauty by God~ A Visual Delight

I recently came across a visually stunning video created by a fashion designer whose clothing designs are inspired by the Holy Spirit. I asked her if I could share this with you and she said yes! So, I took a few screenshots to give you a peek, but you'll have to watch the video (below) for the whole story. The story of God's creation and the redemption of man. I'd love to hear what you think. Do you feel inspired by these images? I know I do!












To view the video in its entirety, please click here.
I hope you enjoyed this stunning presentation of the gospel message.

Regarding our search for beauty, from Aleona's website:

«I do believe that deeply rooted in every human heart is a longing for beauty. Why do we go to the Grand Canyon, the Boundary Waters, art exhibits, gardens? Why do we plant trees and flower beds? Why do we paint our inside walls? Why is it man and not the monkeys who decorated cave walls with pictures? Why is it that in every tribe of humans ever known there has always been some form of art and craftsmanship that goes beyond mere utility? Is it not because we long to behold and be a part of beauty? We crave to be moved by some rare glimpse of greatness. We yearn for a vision of glory. 
Whether you know it or not, all the longings of your life for beauty are longings for this: the light of the gospel of the beauty of Christ who is the image of God. Turn to Jesus as Lord! Open yourself to the Spirit of Christ. And the veil will be lifted.»         By John Piper

Have a beautiful week!
