Alma 29: 2,4

Yes, I would declare unto every soul, as with the voice of thunder, repentance and the plan of redemption that they should repent and come unto our God, that there might not be more sorrow upon all the face of the Earth.  . . . for I know that he granteth unto men according to their desire, whether it be unto death or onto life. . .

Don't we all wish this in our heart of hearts - to be done with all the sorrow man creates on the Earth? As did Alma, I see the Gospel of Jesus Christ as the answer and just wish everyone would live its principles. Goodbye to anger and hate and all the sins that destroy lives and homes and society.

But God chose to give us agency. He lets us choose the course of our own lives. Some choose to live peacefully and others choose harm.

What a dilemma it is! Like Alma, I long for peace.
