My Kindness Will Not Depart From Thee
Isaiah 54 and 3 Nephi 22

Am overwhelmed by the verses found in the following references:

3 Nephi 22: 7-8,10

For a small moment have I forsaken thee, but with great mercies will I gather thee.

In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment, but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the Lord thy Redeemer.
For the mountains shall depart and the hills be removed, but
my kindness shall not depart from thee...

compare with

Isaiah 54:7-8, 10

And then:

D&C 122:7-8

And if thou shouldst be cast into the pit, or into the hands of murderers, and the sentence of death passed upon thee; if thou be cast into the deep; if the billowing surge conspire against thee; if fierce winds become thine enemy; if the heavens gather blackness, and all the elements combine to hedge up the way; and above all, if the very jaws of hell shall gape open the mouth wide after thee, know thou, my son, that all these things shall give thee experience, and shall be for thy good.

The
of Man hath descended below them all. Art thou greater than he?

and lastly,

Doctrine & Covenants 121: 7-8,

My son, peace be unto thy soul; thine adversity and thine afflictions shall be but a small moment;


And then, if thou endure it well, God shall exalt thee on high; thou shalt triumph over all thy foes.
