Beauty Defined?

     In the dumps of Guatemala live the poorest of poor. These people have nothing but their families and what is thrown in the dump. Every day they travel out to see what they can find in hope that they can make money to somehow make a living in the dump. These people have nothing, but they believe in an all-incredible God. They praise his name while searching through the trash.  

They are beautiful.

     A young pastor in South America was a missionary with his wife and children. On a Sunday morning service, men came in armed and held a gun to this mans' head. They demanded he confess that God is not real and they would spare his life. The pastor refused. He was killed in front of his family and church. He had a faith and love that surpassed any worldly desire; to stand up for what He believed in and die proclaiming the name of Christ.

He is beautiful.

     Whindle is a homeless man that is handicapped in a wheelchair who lives out at the square in downtown Cleveland, TN. He sits on the side of the road and watches the cars drive by. This man smells like a sewer and has flies that hover around him. He has four teeth sticking out different directions and clothes that are torn everywhere you look. This man that was created in the image of God; He is called child by the one who controls our every breath. Whindle has a heart that mirrors the heart of God because of his unconditional love to others.  

Whindle is beautiful.

     Families who live in a dump and still praise Him, a pastor dying for what he believes in, and a homeless man who loves unconditionally yet is rejected in the eyes of the world;  

They are beauty.
