Tender Mercies

1 Nephi 1:20 And when the Jews heard these things they were angry with him; yea, even as with the prophets of old, whom they had cast out, and stoned, and slain; and they also sought his life, that they might take it away. 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.

I love how Nephi says he will show unto us the tender mercies of the Lord. I look forward to learning more what these "tender mercies" are as we read the Book of Mormon.

Elder Bednar says that the Lord's tender mercies are very personal and individualized blessings, strenghth, protection, assurances, guidance, loving-kindness, consolation, support and spiritual gifts that we receive from and because of Jesus Christ.

I am going to scripture mark all of the Lords tender mercies, (and I know there are many) as I read. I hope by doing this I can personalize the words of the Lord. -Mindy
