COL Mikel J. Burroughs As a counselor who specializes in grief and loss Elizabeth Kubler Ross' quote really speaks to me. I have seen the most beautiful light from those in the most difficult of circumstances. People who might have been lost in their own darkness, able to light the way for others. Never make assumptions about what is inside of a person; you never know until you dim the lights.

Thanks my friend COL Mikel J. Burroughs. It may be a beautiful day outside. The biblical heart is beautiful to our LORD since HE sees perfection in HIS adopted sons and daughters.
My physical heart leaks and as I have aged it has become thicker and less supple which means I have less capacity to do things that I did at earlier stages of my life.
I look forward to the new heaven and earth when we shall be perfected in the resurrection.

The romantic heart can well be beautiful. And we tend to see those we love with somewhat rose colored glasses. We tend to forgive those we love more readily than those we don't.

Helen Keller was a horrible child until she came to grips with her blindness and deafness. She had been able to see and hear until she contracted hat may have been meningitis.
Over time she became beautiful inside and compassionate.
I concur with her quote "The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart."

Elisabeth Kübler-Ross was focused on death and dying and she had a hard death after numerous strokes. Her quote seems intriguing "People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within."

The light of the LORD shines through HIS adopted children.
Our eyes can give a sense of the state of our soul.
Each human being can be monitored by looking at the eyes to some degree. Eyes shine when happy and shine differently when angry.

I hope and pray that each one reading this post will be blessed today with a fuller understanding of the love of GOD for you.

Good morning COL. A Good Heart (metaphorically) will make a person good hearted and good will, will emanate in all that they do. Of course there is the flipside to that....Bad Heart (again metaphorically) begets ill will and mean spiritedness.....Can a person be changed from the inside out to become good hearted.? An analogy would be "A Christmas Carol", Ebenezer Scrooge. Just a thought. Have a great start to the work week my Friend.

Alan, God works in mysterious ways. Sometimes He must show us our inward ugliness, to bring out the beauty He knows lies beneath it. 'Scrooge' hid his pain of the past under a demeanor of hatred for all things beautiful. But, the pain he felt was a product of lost love. That love came through with the help of God, who knew his true beauty: his heart.
You hit it right on the nose with your comment here. Those with a beautiful heart understand God's works. BRAVO!!
