You are treasured, you are sacred, you are His.

Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.”

“If you would have God have mercy on you, have mercy on one another.” Joseph Smith


“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.”
David A. Bednar

“Never let things which matter most be at the mercy of things which matter least.”
“Mercy is of the very essence of the gospel of Jesus Christ. The degree to which each of us is able to extend it becomes an expression of the reality of our discipleship under Him who is our Lord and Master.”
Gordon B. Hinckley

“Because we all depend on the mercy of God, how can we deny to others any measure of the grace we so desperately desire for ourselves? ……should we not forgive as we wish to be forgiven?”
Dieter F. Uchtdorf

“He [the Savior] receives each act of mercy to one of the least as one done to Himself. And in return He defies hopelessness, weariness, despair, and meaninglessness on our behalf.”
Chieko N. Okazaki

“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 Him daily. Truly, ‘the Lord is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works’ 
David A. Bednar

"You and I in a moment of weakness may cry out 'No one understands. No one knows.' No human being, perhaps, knows. But the Son of God perfectly knows and understands, for He felt and bore our burdens before we ever did. And because He paid the ultimate price and bore that burden, He has perfect empathy and can extend to us His arm of mercy in so many phases of our life. He can reach out, touch, succor--literally run to us--and strengthen us."
David A Bednar

God’s grace is sufficient. Jesus’ grace is sufficient. sufficient to cover our debt, sufficient to transform us, and sufficient to help us as long …. It is enough. It is all we need. Look for the Lord and His perfect strength. Seek Christ, and, as you do, I promise you will feel the enabling power we call His amazing grace.
I stand all amazed at the love Jesus offers me,
I think of his hands pierced and bleeding to pay the debt!
Such mercy, such love and devotion can I forget?
No, no, I will praise and adore at the mercy seat,
Until at the glorified throne I kneel at his feet.
You are treasured, you are sacred, you are His.
