Here’s your daily dose of what matters most!
The Lord is merciful and gracious, offering tender mercies to those who honor Him with steadfast faith. These blessings are not random—they are personal, intentional expressions of His love and care.
Scripture
“For thus saith the Lord—I, the Lord, am merciful and gracious unto those who fear me, and delight to honor those who serve me in righteousness and in truth unto the end.”—Doctrine and Covenants 76:5
Quote
“The tender mercies of the Lord are real and they do not occur randomly or merely by coincidence.”—David A. Bednar
