Today's thought is going to be short, but something we all need to remember. I am sure we all have testimonies of the power of the Atonement and the power of repentance, but I want you to know that there is nothing you or I could have done that would ban us from the love of God. All Heavenly Father asks of us is to repent of our sins and do them no more. I don't care what it is Heavenly Father will forgive us if we truly repent. This chapter is about the Jaredites and their bloody wars. On top of that that, the people were wicked notwithstanding the wars. Multiple times throughout the chapter we hear of prophets being sent to the people and encouraging them to repent. If they did "the Lord did have mercy on them." If the people did not repent, destruction would be quickened. These people were participating in "murders and wickedness" and still the Lord forgave them and had mercy on those that repented. Let us trust in the Lord and repent of our sins. Let us be a little better today than we were yesterday.
