“But behold, I, Nephi, will show unto you that the tender mercies of
the Lord are over all those whom he hath chosen, because of their faith,
to make them mighty even unto the power of deliverance” (1 Nephi 1:20).
I am grateful today for the tender mercies of the Lord.
"We
should not underestimate or overlook the power of the Lord’s tender
mercies. The simpleness, the sweetness, and the constancy of the tender
mercies of the Lord will do much to fortify and protect us in the
troubled times in which we do now and will yet live. When words cannot
provide the solace we need or express the joy we feel, when it is simply
futile to attempt to explain that which is unexplainable, when logic
and reason cannot yield adequate understanding about the injustices and
inequities of life, when mortal experience and evaluation are
insufficient to produce a desired outcome, and when it seems that
perhaps we are so totally alone, truly we are blessed by the tender
mercies of the Lord and made mighty even unto the power of deliverance."
~ Elder David A. Bednar
