Added Grace for Difficult Times

"But He gives more grace. Therefore He says:
'God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.'
Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will
lift you up."
--James 4:6,10

He giveth more grace when the burdens grow greater,
He sendeth more strength when the labors increase;
To added affliction He addeth His mercy,
To multiplied trials, His multiplied peace.

When we have exhausted our store of endurance,
When our strength has failed ere the day is half done,
When we reach the end of our hoarded resources,
Our Father's full giving is only begun.

His love has no limit, His grace has no measure,
His power has no boundary known unto men;
For out of His infinite riches in Jesus
He giveth and giveth and giveth again.

--Annie Johnson Flint
