"MY Grace Is Sufficient For You". Thus Says The LORD.

HE will sustain us so that we may carry it!

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

"Cast your burden on the LORD--
and HE shall 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 duty--

but HE strengthens us for it.

HE does not deliver us from conflict--

but HE enables us to overcome.

He does not withhold or 

withdraw 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 power is made perfect 
in weakness!" 2 Corinthians 12:9
