God truly loves us All!!:)

Recently I was reading in 3 Nephi -- just after the destruction, but before Christ comes. I read this verse: Wo, wo, wo unto this people; wo unto the inhabitants of the whole earth except they shall repent; for the devil laugheth, and his angels rejoice, because of the slain of the fair sons and daughters of my people; and it is because of their iniquity and abominations that they are fallen! (9:2) It hit me. Some of the people who died were very very wicked. (For example, King Jacob - the leader of the Gadiaton robbers.) And yet Christ still calls them his "fair sons and daughters." As I read that I felt the love that our Savior has for all people, even those who choose to live wickedly. He really has such love for us!!

I continued to read and then came across this: And behold, that great city Moronihah have I covered with earth, and the inhabitants thereof, to hide their iniquities and their abominations from before my face, that the blood of the prophets and the saints shall not come any more unto me against them. (verse 5) I know that I have realized this before, but Christ really allowed the wicked people to die to save them from themselves. Christ did not want them to suffer any more than they absolutely had to. And he said this right after he had finished suffering for all mankind. I know that there are many different visions of how Christ is, but I know that he is the most loving, merciful god there is. He truly loves us, no matter what we do and he always provides a way for us to receive the least amount of punishment possible and to come back to him!!!
