"I haven't come to bring you pity. I am a reflection of God's love, and so are you. God doesn't make mistakes, but you did. You chose to believe what mirrors tell you and what the eyes of others reflect instead of finding who you really are from the One who made you. You were made in God's image. It's true! When you are patient, when you are kind, when you turn your back on anger, you reflect the character of the One who made you. The One who called you to be a man after His own heart. A good father, a kind soul, a messenger of great joy and laughter. Yes, God laughs. You should know better than most the healing that laughter can bring to this world. ~~Monica, A Clown's Prayer
