LORD, Increase My Faith

Even our faults, our follies and our sins!
(J.R. Miller, "Intimate Letters on Personal Problems" 1914)

"We know that GOD causes all things 
to work together for good to those who 
love GOD, to those who are called 
according to HIS purpose!" Romans 8:28

We can put into the hands 
of GOD all problems and 
troubles, even the things which 
have seemed hard and hurtful--
knowing that there is a Hand 
which will so shape results as
to bring out of all the tangles--
a beautiful webEven our faults, 
our follies and our sins--
we may put into the same Hand 
if we are truly penitent, and leave 
them there, knowing that from 
these, too, some blessing 
will come to us.

It is astonishing how good GOD is 
to us, and how HE takes whatever 
we give HIM, even the poorest 
fragments of our obediences, 
even our mistakes and our sins--
and brings something helpful and 
full of good for us out of them!
