God is Beauty #4

Because creation is beautiful, we know that the Being who created it must be beautiful as well. And not only this, but He is perfection of beauty, for to be able to create something, the Creator must be greater than His creation. There must be something or Someone that is the epitome of beauty in order for the lesser existence of beauty in the world.

Thoughts inspired by reading: Because God is beauty and God created living creatures and beautiful things, God is in beautiful things, for when you create something, part of who you are is echoed and a part of that created thing. You cannot make something that does not in some way reflect who you are. Therefore, beautiful art in churches and beautiful churches themselves have God in them to a certain degree.
