Gems from the Teachings of Church Leaders
Examples of the Lord’s Tender Mercies to Us
—————————————————

“Repentance and forgiveness of sins and peace of conscience are
examples of the tender mercies of the Lord. And the persistence and the
fortitude that enable us to press forward with cheerfulness through
physical limitations and spiritual difficulties are examples of the tender
mercies of the Lord. . . .

“. . . Faithfulness, obedience, and
humility invite tender mercies into our lives, and it is often the
Lord’s timing that enables us to recognize and treasure these important
blessings.”

Topics: mercy, repentance, peace, forgiveness, blessings, challenges
