God does not judge the beauty of his work by the charm of the eyes and He does not form the same idea of beauty that we form. What He finds beautiful is what, in its perfection, shows all the fitness of art, and what works toward the usefulness of its purpose. So God, who planned an obvious design in His works, approved each one of them, because it fulfilled the purpose for which it was created. This is how scripture depicts to us the Supreme Artist, praising each one His works. This earth, air, sky, water, day, night, all visible things remind us of our Benefactor. We shall not therefore give occasion to sin, we shall not give any room to the Enemy within us, if by constant recollection we keep God ever dwelling in our hearts- St Basil . . #creation #beauty #copticorthodox #orthodoxy #dailyreadings #orthodox

“You are the Creator and you have formed me from the earth with mud. You grant vision to my eyes. Through your word, I come to you, for you are ‘Siloam’ the ‘Sent’ from the Father.

I see the gates of heaven opened and welcoming me!” Father Tadros Yacoub Malaty #manbornblind #healing #enlightenment #creation #innervision #sixthSundayofLent #Lent #fasting #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox
