“God has spoken to Joseph Smith for the purpose of blessing all of God’s children with His mercy and love, even in times of uncertainties and insecurities, of wars and rumors of wars, of natural and personal disasters. The Savior said, ‘Behold, mine arm of mercy is extended towards you, and whosoever will come, him will I receive’ (3 Nephi 9:14). And all who accept this invitation will be ‘encircled about with the matchless bounty of his love’ (Alma 26:15)” (Uchtdorf, “Fruits of the First Vision,” 38).
