Who do you perceive the Lord Jesus to be?  Do you perceive him to be beautiful?  How beautiful do you perceive him to be?  The questions matter because as we aspire to be like him, our perception of his beauty matters.

Who we aspire to become similar to determines our potential.  The Lord Jesus is endlessly beautiful.  To what portion of that endless beauty do you aspire?

Gods willingness to give is not the reason for our stunted growth.   The reason we thrash around as helpless babes is because we are not willing to receive.  The question before our face day and night is this:  Is the Lord more beautiful than the enticements of the flesh?

By His Grace
