How Oft Will I Gather You

This is a video I made for a project in my Old Testament class.  It is special to me because of the powerful message it presents.  Heavenly Father has always gathered His beloved children, since the days of Adam and Eve, until now.  No matter what the children of Israel did, or the Nephites, or the pioneers, He always reached out in love and took care of them.  This video is a representation of the span of the earth, and God's infinite love.

4 O ye people of these great cities which have fallen, who are descendants of Jacob, yea, who are of the house of Israel, how oft have I gathered you as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and have nourished you.

5 And again, how oft would I have gathered you as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, yea, O ye people of the house of Israel, who have fallen; yea, O ye people of the house of Israel, ye that dwell at Jerusalem, as ye that have fallen; yea, how oft would I have gathered you as a hen gathereth her chickens, and ye would not.

 6 O ye house of Israel whom I have spared, how oft will I gather you as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, if ye will repent and return unto me with full purpose of heart.

                                                                                                            (3 Nephi 10: 4-6)

How oft has my Heavenly Father gathered me as I've struggled against His will?  How Oft He gathers me, even when I don't listen?  And how oft will He gather me?  I know, that just as He gathers me in my life now, and as He has always gathered me in the past,  He will always gather me as long as I come unto Him with a pure heart and repent of my sins.  He will do this for you too.
