God fills this world with the beauty of Its Presence. Therefore, there is no reason why I should not experience this beauty, and I now do. My mind is set in beauty, and it appears where I am. I need not seek it, for already it is showing its face to me.

I look out at familiar people and objects and see them with a new light and a new meaning. I need not uproot the old to behold the Glory of Life. I only need to see rightly what already is and appreciate the Mind which brought it forth for me to see. I now see it anew and appreciate an Idea made manifest. The little becomes the great, for beauty is within it.

God’s action always produces symmetry, and my whole world is filled with the Divine Mind in action under Its perfect Law. To me, all people have qualities of greatness. Beauty is of the mind and heart as well as of appearance. These inner powers are the real beauty that no outer application can equal. God blesses me through all people and in all situations. God beckons to me in every face, every building, and every landscape. Beauty is mine.
