A Thought on Death

This morning I read the following scripture:

And it came to pass that there were many who died, firmly believing that their souls were redeemed by the Lord Jesus Christ; thus they went out of the world rejoicing (Alma 46:39)

It is very difficult to know the state of someone else's salvation, perhaps even impossible in general; however, we know that little children are innocent. When a child dies, it is beyond tragic. I am grateful that the Lord gives us this comfort to know that little children are saved. It comforts me to think that perhaps these innocent ones leave this life rejoicing, knowing that they go home redeemed and ready to inherit the blessings of a Heavenly Father.
