From every angle, our Beloved is truly beautiful. Our Father uses our different experiences to help us see the beauty of Jesus from new perspectives. Trials can be a blessing when they lift us up, giving us clearer views of Jesus than we would see in everyday life. We've seen him from high places like Amana, Shenir, and Hermon, shining like the sun.

But we've also seen him from the depths, from the lions' dens, and even then he's just as lovely. From sickbeds and the edge of the grave, we've turned our eyes to our beloved Jesus, and he's always been perfect. Many have praised him from dungeons and fire, never speaking ill of him, even in their last moments. Oh, how wonderful it is to gaze upon our sweet Lord Jesus! Isn't it amazing to see him in all his roles, matchless in each? As though looking through a kaleidoscope, we find new, breathtaking combinations of his graces.

In the manger and in eternity, on the cross and on the throne, in the garden and in his kingdom, among thieves or among angels, he is always 'altogether lovely.' Look closely at every act of his life, every feature of his character. He's as lovely in the small details as in the grand ones. Try as you might, you can't find fault with him. Weigh him as you please, and he won't be found lacking. Eternity will not reveal a flaw in our Beloved, but instead, as time goes on, his hidden glories will shine with even more brilliance, captivating all heavenly hearts.

Closing Prayer

Lord, as this day comes to a close, fill our hearts with Your love so we can share it freely. Through Christ our Lord, Amen.
