Learning to Love: The Great Lesson of Beauty & The Beast

What if BEAUTY + THE BEAST is actually a story about learning to LOVE like Jesus? 🌹 I absolutely loved this conversation with my dear friend Cassie Shepherd @homecenteredlearning. We talked about fairy tales. The scriptures. The sparrow. Learning. Beauty + the Beast. Transformation. And the God who created galaxies—but still notices ONE. Because that is the miracle of His love. God loves ALL. And God loves EACH. And as disciples of Jesus Christ, we are learning to do the same. Maybe that means looking beyond someone's rough exterior and seeing the wounded heart underneath. Maybe it means asking a more thoughtful question. Maybe it means giving someone their “library”—not what WE think they need, but something that tells them: I see you. I know you. I know what matters to you. And maybe LOVING MORE doesn't always mean DOING more. Sometimes it means SEEING more. Seeing people the way Jesus sees them. Seeing their divine potential. Seeing the person underneath the Beast. And loving them toward the person they were always meant to become. 🤍
