We Look Like Him

276

God our Father has ears with which to hear our prayers. He has eyes with which to see our actions. He has a mouth with which to speak to us. He has a heart with which to feel compassion and love. He is real. He is living. We are his children made in his image. We look like him and he looks like us. ~ Thomas S. Monson

My mouth can’t help but curve upward even in hiding.

Hope skips counterpoint to each heartbeat at every encounter.

Crow’s feet crinkle in greeting every chance they get.



Three Gatekeepers

The mouth should have three gatekeepers: Is it true? Is it kind? Is it necessary?
