Tender Mercies of the Lord

I can't believe that I didn't remember this talk addressed in General Conference. It was such a beautiful talk and I needed to be reminded that the blessings that occur day to day aren't just coincidence, but rather a tender mercy from the Lord.

Elder Bednar said it perfectly, "The Lord’s tender mercies are the very personal and individualized blessings, strength, protection, assurances, guidance, loving-kindnesses, consolation, support, and spiritual gifts which we receive from and because of and through the Lord Jesus Christ."
“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've received a countless number of tender mercies from the Lord. He continutes to bless me each and every day. I'm so thankful for the strength I receive from Him to help me withstand the temptations of the adversary.
"I testify that the tender mercies of the Lord are available to all of us and that the Redeemer of Israel is eager to bestow such gifts upon us"- Elder David A. Bednar
