Isaiah 63:8,9; “For he said, Surely they are my people, children that will not lie: so he was their Saviour. 9 In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bare them, and carried them all the days of old.”
Matthew 25:34-40; “Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: 36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. 37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? 38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? 39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? 40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.”

In all the troubles the world has to offer us it’s more than comforting to know He will be there! Today, tomorrow and did you notice that He was there for you yesterday? Oh how Jesus loves you dear ones and wants for you to sit on His right side just as He told His disciples on the Mount of Olives. If you’re a Christian, do tell a Mormon how awesome this is and use demonstrative examples from your own life! Also ask what infirmities Joseph Smith bore for them personally.

Discourses of Joseph Smith, pg. 28; “Notwithstanding my weaknesses, I am under the necessity of bearing the infirmities of others, who when they get into difficulty, hang on to me tenaciously to get them out, and wish me to cover their faults. (HC 5:516.)”
Reading Joseph Smith’s words gives me a sick feeling in my stomach.
