"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, Book of Mormon

"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, April 2005 LDS General Conference

Believing the Yucky Stuff is Good for You

Oh, I do not like having to deal with yucky matters--you know the kind where you have to wade through friction, which might come from others, yourself, or a combination of both. Had that tonight at work. It was a combination of me, another worker, and a customer, and it was just yucky. Didn't like it much at all. Still don't like it much, but I keep reflecting on it and wondering what I can change. That's a good thing. That's why God doesn't always allow things to go just right. Can't get better at anything without being stretched. But, I still feel yucky about it. Though a little less than before.

I'm grateful that I have to face the yucky stuff, that I have to get through it, and hopefully be a little better in the future because of it.
