Daily Thoughts

In the Old Testament I read about how Haman arranged a decree to kill all the Jews. Esth. 3: 13-15 "And the letters were sent by posts into all the king's provinces, to destroy, to kill, and to cause to perish, all Jews, both young and old, little children and women, in cone day, even upon the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, and to take the spoil of them for a prey. The copy of the writing for a commandment to be given in every province was published unto all people, that they should be ready against that day. The posts went out, being hastened by the king's commandment, and the decree was given in Shushan the palace. And the king and Haman sat down to drink; but the city Shushan was perplexed."

In the D&C I read that the Lord calls upon all men to repent and prepare for the coming of the Lord, which is nigh. D&C 133: 16-17 "Hearken and hear, O ye inhabitants of the earth. Listen , ye elders of my church together, and hear the voice of the Lord; for he calleth upon all men, and he commandeth all men everywhere to repent. For behold, the Lord God hath sent forth the angel crying through the midst of heaven, saying: Prepare ye the way of the Lord, and make his paths straight, for the hour of his coming is nigh—"

Some scriptures from a thought booklet tell us that nothing can separate us from the love of God. Sometimes we may forget this, especially when we've distanced ourselves from God or feel unworthy of his love because of our own sins. But no matter what we've done, God still loves us and beckons us back to Him with open arms, if we'll only come unto Him. If we'll humble ourselves and repent, He'll forgive us. Jesus Christ loved us so much He suffered for our sins. We need never doubt the love of our Heavenly Father and His Son Jesus Christ. Rom. 8: 35, 38-39 "Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
