In nature, nothing is perfect and everything is perfect. Trees can be contorted, bent in weird ways, and they're still beautiful. ~ Alice Walker

Sometimes our own twisted contorted lives have a beauty about them when we can finally step back and see the whole picture.
That's true...perspective offers us another viewpoint, another interpretation to the story. When seen through God's eyes everything is beautiful.
I am not sure what you mean by that (or is that a polite way of saying that cannot be?). "Everything is beautiful"? Is sin beautiful because in the end it may lead to something beautiful? It seems that from the eyes of the divine, some things are very ugly.
In response to your question...it's difficult (for me) to view life's blemishes and ugliness of one's life in the proper light, at times. My mind tends to create it's own reality - usually ending in self-pity and despair. Yes, I believe time allows us to look back and see things differently. What I meant was that in order for me to see rightly, I need the Light of God. I came across this scripture...it speaks to God's vision, rather than my own limited perspective of this life, "He has made everything beautiful in it's time. ~ Ecclesiastes 3:11
