What does it mean to be beautiful? The original Greek and Hebrew words used in the Bible that are translated beauty give some interesting clues. One word describes that which is ripe in its season, produced at the right time. Things are loveliest and best when they are in the right seasons. Life has its seasons, and every season can be the prime of life if we best represent that season in which we are now living. The mature beauty of an older person is quite different from that of a twenty-year-old with an attractive appearance. The beauty of an infant is different from the emerging beauty of an older child. Each has its seasonal beauty. Another word is associated with the beauty of holiness, majesty, splendor. God has this beauty, and those who walk with Him reflect it. Still another Bible word speaks of grace, favor, sweetness, charm. This beauty transcends all of the seasons of life, though it may mature as one grows older. Combine all of these and there is a special beauty in symphony-physically beautiful and pleasing to behold, filled with grace and charm and pleasing to be with, representing well the proper season of life, and filled with the beauty of God’s holiness and majesty.
