As The Burdens Grow Heavier, HIS Strength Increases.

HE always gives sufficient grace

(J.R. Miller, "Help for the Day")

"Meanwhile, the disciples were in trouble 
far away from land, for a strong wind had
risen, and they were fighting heavy waves!
About three o'clock in the morning, JESUS
came toward them, walking on the water!"
Matthew 14:24-25

GOD adapts HIS grace to the peculiarities

of each of HIS children's necessity.

For rough, flinty paths--

HE provides shoes of iron.

HE never sends anyone to climb

steep, sharp, rugged mountainsides--

wearing silken slippers. HE always 

gives sufficient grace.

As the burdens grow heavier--

HIS strength increases.

As the difficulties thicken--

HE draws closer.

As the trials become sorer--

the trusting heart grows calmer.

JESUS always sees HIS disciples 

when they are toiling in the waves, 

and at the right moment comes 

to deliver them. The sharper 

the temptations--

the more of Divine grace 

is granted. There is, therefore, 

no environment of trial or 

difficulty or hardship--

in which we cannot live beautiful 

lives of Christian fidelity and holy conduct.

"MY grace is sufficient for you!" 
2 Corinthians 12:9
