Alma 17:14-15

14 And assuredly it was great, for they had undertaken to preach the word of God to a wild and a hardened and a ferocious people; a people who delighted in murdering the Nephites, and robbing and plundering them; and their hearts were set upon riches, or upon gold and silver, and precious stones; yet they sought to obtain these things by murdering and plundering, that they might not labor for them with their own hands.

15 Thus they were a very indolent people, many of whom did worship idols, and the curse of God had fallen upon them because of the traditions of their fathers; notwithstanding the promises of the Lord were extended unto them on the conditions of repentance.

Is that not the most beautiful 'notwithstanding' you've ever heard??

The promises of the Lord don't go anywhere. They are always available to us on conditions of repentance.

He is - always. Always there. Always available. Always loving.

Always.

Comforting.
