Three different times I begged the Lord to take [my problem] away.
Each time he said,
“My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.”
So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses,
so that the power of Christ can work through me.
2 Corinthians 12:8-9 NLT
***
It is in times of calamity . . .
in days and nights of sorrow and trouble
that the presence, the sufficiency and the sympathy of God
grow very sure and very wonderful.
Then we find out that the grace of God is sufficient for all our needs,
for every problem, for every difficulty,
for every broken heart and for every human sorrow.
Peter Marshall
