Sister Elizabeth Rex: 👀

Here's a tender moment from my week:

I woke up clear minded one morning and asked Heavenly Father what I needed to do that day. And the answer was simple: look at people. Really see them.

As we were walking through park after our studies, there was a man sitting by himself and as we talked, it turned into a soul searching, heartfelt conversation I will never forget.

"I know I'm a child of God, I just don't know if I'm the child that He wanted."

And I stared into this hardcore, tattoo covered, just out of 11 years of prison man's eyes with tears in my own eyes, telling him sometimes I wonder that too. But I have come to know that God is our loving Heavenly Father, who loves us independent of our actions, simply because we are His. It was sweet to feel the spirit testify to me, but even sweeter to see this man's eyes catch a light. He knew. He felt it.

That's what happens when we look at people, when we really see them for who they are: a child of God.

I hope that you can look at yourself with the love that God has for you. That is one of the greatest truths I have come to know: God is my loving Heavenly Father.

Love big! Love hard!
