Joseph Smith taught the doctrine that
the infant child that was laid away in death would come up in the resurrection
as a child; and, pointing to the mother of a lifeless child, he said to her:
“You will have the joy, the pleasure, and satisfaction of nurturing this child,
after its resurrection, until it reaches the full stature of its spirit.” There
is restitution, there is growth, there is development, after the resurrection
from death. I love this truth. It speaks volumes of happiness, of joy and gratitude to my soul. Thank the Lord he has revealed these
principles to us.
“The Lord takes many away, even in infancy,
that they may escape the envy of man, and the sorrows and evils of this present
world; they were too pure, too lovely, to live on earth.”
The whole talk is good to read: The Salvation of Little Children
What a wonderful blessing to have these revealed doctrines. I feel that I grieve with hope, while there may be those that grieve without hope.
