These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

Strength of Life

Finding strength to move ahead
is in the Hands of God.
Following now when once we led
seems hard to thank, applaud.

"My Grace is all, that you will need,"
so says the Mighty Lord,
"Your weakness becomes strength, indeed,"
when resting on The Word.

Then Paul enjoins, that "gladness comes"
when "weak days are embraced,
for then," says he, "Christ's gladdest sums
of Power can rest in Grace."

Now, finding strength to truly live
is gifted from Above.
No works from me are left to give,
receiving blessed Love.

2 Corinthians 12:9, KJV,
“And he said unto me,
My grace is sufficient for thee:
for my strength is made perfect in weakness.
Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities,
that the power of Christ may rest upon me.”
