"MY Grace Is Sufficient For You."

He will sustain you!

"Cast your burden upon the LORD--
and HE will sustain you." Psalm 55:22

The promise is not that the LORD will 
remove the load we cast upon HIM, 
nor that HE will carry it for us--
but that HE will sustain us so 
that we may carry it.

HE does not free us from the duty--
but HE strengthens us for it.
HE does not deliver us from the conflict--
but HE enables us to overcome.
HE does not withhold or withdraw 
the trial from us--
but HE helps us in trial to be 
submissive and victorious, 
and makes it a blessing to us.

HE does not mitigate the hardness 
or severity of our circumstances, 
taking away the difficult elements, 
removing the thorns, making 
life easy for us--
but HE puts Divine grace 
into our hearts, so that we can 
live sweetly in all the hard, 
adverse circumstances.

"MY grace is sufficient for you, 
for MY strength is made perfect 
in weakness." 2 Corinthians 12:9

"I can do all things through CHRIST 
who strengthens me!" Philippians 4:13
