A paper

This thing has spell check so ..

The Lord loves his children. That is the reappearing theme in the book of Mormon. We can see it shown clearly in Jarom. Where it talks about how wicked the nephits had become. They had become so wicked that the hand of the lord was the only thing that was keeping them from destruction. They had harden their hearts, defened their ears and stiffened their necks. The lord however does not give up on his children. Their was a few among them that where still righteous and with a little divine help would be able to turn the hearts of the people. It took 200 years and a lot of hard work I am sure but the people where brought back fully to the lord. This can give us hope if we liken it things our lives. If we have doubts about our personal worthiness, then no matter how far from the lord we are now. We can still start to make our way back. Even Paul was once a maleficent man. He persecuted the lords people like no other in his time. He was then humbled by the lord and went on to be come one of his most faithful followers. The Lord loves his children more then one like me could ever comprehend. A love so strong he gave up his only begotten son. When we here this term we put some separation in it. We seem to think like other churches in that Heavenly father was just doing A and B so that we could get to C. But it's more then that. I myself have never had a child so I do not know a parents love. I have however work with people who are M.R. and have loved them as much as I could. They went though many trials that with their abilities made life so very hard for them. I as a seariget father had to watch them go through these things. It hurts so bad, there is so much worrying and strife in your life when things are not going well for them. I can't image the pain it must cause to give my child to the wolves of this world and have so much power but not to be able to use it to help him. The stronger the love the stronger the sorrow. I am so very humbled when I think of the pure love my father has for me. And the pure sorrow I seem to give him. God will not give up on us. We should not give up on him or each other.
