There is an Arabic term that means “doing what is beautiful.”
Ihsan
This word embodies taking one’s inner faith and living it out.
Another part of this way of life is to live as though God were standing just over there and could be seen.
This is such a lovely concept. I have spent days wrapping my brain around it and thinking about what I would say when I shared this with you all.
Sarah Thebarge, author of The Invisible Girls, shares in her video blog “what’s the difference between a big story and a good story?” what it means to be a good and faithful servant in our world today.
It’s worth watching and less than five minutes long. I see a connection here. I think if we live like she describes, living out the good story–as small and unimportant as it may seem to us–we are living out ihsan. Doing beautiful things according to what we believe, as though the Creator were standing right over there within sight.
I am sure I have oversimplified what this term means, and I mean no disrespect. But I think we need more beauty and grace and inspiration to scatter kindness in our lives. And I embrace a word that calls us to do just that.
May today be your day to write your good story.
Love to all.

Totally agree.
That means a lot. Thank you.
