I live a life that is surrounded by beautiful handmade
objects. It is the intent of the
craftsman to create functional objects whose main function is the ability to
carry the burden of beauty while simultaneously serving as wares of daily
life. When God decided to enter into an
intimate relationship with humans, the Tabernacle, He hand picked artisans and
dictated certain objects, bowls, candle sticks and tables to serve worship
needs but first to bear the burden of beauty.
Beauty has many reasons but one of the most sincere is to lead humans to
worship God.
It should be one goal of life to inventory our daily routine and
examine how many of our objects rely solely on function while ignoring our
greater need, to be in relation with beauty as a means and method of being in
relationship with God.
