Tuesday’s Thoughts on Scripture comes from Romans 10:15: And how are they to proclaim him unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!” (NRSV)
I will always remember the message one of my classmates gave in seminary that included the above line about beautiful feet. She invited (strongly) that we all remove our shoes and socks and look - really look - at our feet and see them as beautiful.
Now, how many feet do you think are actually “beautiful?” I certainly don’t consider mine to be. Yet, here’s the thing - we humans look at, or see, beauty on the outside. God, however, sees beauty on the inside, especially when we are sharing God’s message of love and grace and inclusion (the Good News).
So, fellow apostles (God’s messengers), the next time you look at your feet, try seeing them as God does - beautiful, and sent to proclaim God’s Good News message.
Blessings. And prayers.
