168. Securing our Children, very comforting words by Pres. Lorenzo Snow.

I read this today in Latter Day Light Daily Devotion.  It is so comforting, and gives all of us hope for our children!  I hope you enjoy it.

Latter Day Light DAILY DEVOTION _________________________ Securing Our Children Nauvoo, Illinois June 18, 2014

SCRIPTURES OF THE DAY: Doctrine & Covenants 138:58-59 "The dead who repent will be redeemed, through obedience to the ordinances of the house of God, and after they have paid the penalty of their transgressions, and are washed clean, shall receive a reward according to their works, for they are heirs of salvation." QUOTE OF THE DAY:   Lorenzo Snow "God has fulfilled His promises to us, and our prospects are grand and glorious.  Yes, in the next life we will have our wives, and our sons and daughters.  If we do not get them all at once, we will have them some time, for every knee will bow and every tongue shall confess that Jesus is the Christ.   "You that are mourning about your children straying away will have your sons and daughters.  If you succeed in passing through these trials and afflictions and receive a resurrection, you will, by the power of the Priesthood, work and labor, as the Son of God has, until you get all your sons and daughters in the path of exaltation and glory.  This is just as sure as that the sun rose this morning over yonder mountains.   "Therefore, mourn not because all your sons and daughters do not follow in the path that you have marked out to them, or give heed to your counsels.  Inasmuch as we succeed in securing eternal glory, and stand as saviors, and as kings and priests to our God, we will save our posterity" (The Teachings of Lorenzo Snow, p. 195).
