This scripture came to mind in institute when the teacher asked, “Why did Heavenly Father create the earth to be beautiful?”

“Behold, the Lord hath created the earth that it should be inhabited; and he hath created his children that they should possess it.” (1 Nephi 17:36)

Of course, he created the beauty for us :) to enjoy, to cherish, and to protect. I heard HWN today reflecting on the beauty of our earth!
