You will start to see a divine hand at work in your life, imparting personalized tender mercies, especially during harsher trials. You will come to realize that you are not, nor have you ever been, left alone. As you come to know God, you will learn that you can trust Him.”

“I believe in God. I talk to Him in my earnest prayers, sharing my personal thoughts and desires. I hear Him when I study and ponder His words in the scriptures. I recognize Him through the calm, peaceful, warm influence of the Holy Spirit. I see His hand in my life as I acknowledge answers to my prayers and the receiving of blessings, tender mercies, and miracles. I experience God’s hand in my life, and so I believe in Him.”

“You pray hard for the people you love. You pray for their health and safety. For their upright joy and happiness. You pray for God to guide their steps, answer their prayers, and teach them what is virtuous and true. You pray for kind, caring, honorable people to come into their lives as friends, helpers, colleagues, and examples. You pray for their dreams and wishes to come true. When you love people, you pray hard for them, that every good thing will be theirs, blessed by God’s tender mercies and gracious miracles.”

With a stroke of the pen, Clinton eliminated what remained of New Deal-era compassion for the poor and codified into law the "tough love" callousness that his Republican allies in the Congress, led by Newt Gingrich, had long embraced.”

“Grace has to be the loveliest word in the English language. It embodies almost every attractive quality we hope to find in others. Grace is a gift of the humble to the humiliated. Grace acknowledges the ugliness of sin by choosing to see beyond it. Grace accepts a person as someone worthy of kindness despite whatever grime or hard-shell casing keeps him or her separated from the rest of the world. Grace is a gift of tender mercy when it makes the least sense.”

“Thus He whose tender mercies are over all His works hath placed a principle in the human mind, which incites to exercise goodness towards every living creature; and this being singly attended to, people become tender-hearted and sympathizing; but when frequently and totally rejected, the mind becomes shut up in a contrary disposition.”
