Hidden beauty

Coming home this evening I was struck by the hidden beauty of this Dianthus. This flower is secluded beneath foliage. It puts me in mind of someone who is currently not seen by many but who has much beauty inside and out.

"Instead make yourselves beautiful on the inside, in your hearts, with the enduring quality of a gentle, peaceful spirit. This type of beauty is very precious in God’s eyes." (CEB)
1 Peter 3:4
