‘Never Gonna Be Alone’ Set to Touching Sand Art
Beauty can and does come from some of the most unexpected places. Whenever there is a terrible, awful tragedy, people will often react with overwhelming love and kindness that displays the best of humanity. One YouTube video also helps to remind us that beauty can come when we least expect it.
The clip features an artist working with sand to create beautiful images as a piano instrumental of Jacob Collier’s “Never Gonna Be Alone” is played.
On the screen, we see sand scattered about as a hand appears periodically to move and form the granular particles. Often, we’re left wondering about the artist’s intentions and direction as he is creating, but when we see his finished product, we’re stunned at what he’s done.
The first stunning image is that of an ocean scene at nightfall. Clouds litter the sky as the moon interacts with the water, seemingly appearing to touch the ocean.
After a few seconds, the artist’s hand is back on the screen. The artist begins to elongate the objects that acted as clouds in the previous scene. Again, we’re thinking, “Where is the artist going? What does this person have in mind?” A couple of minor tweaks later, and the artist has constructed an entirely different but just as visually stunning image!
The soothing piano instrumental that plays throughout the video and the visuals of the artist creating stunning sand art combine to make for a very comforting and calming clip.
Much like the artist on screen, God can take what we see as nothing more than a mess and use those very same elements to create something truly breathtaking and beautiful!
Philippians 4:8 “Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honest, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.”

Today's Devotional
A Prayer to Help You Comfort Others - Your Daily Prayer - April 25
Have you ever wondered if there is any purpose in your suffering? We certainly don’t go looking for suffering—it comes to us because life is a journey through difficulties and triumphs. Sufferings are a reminder of what Jesus Christ went through and it is a way for us to encourage others.
