For The Tried Christian...

[morningrain]

TRIED Christian, there is "abundance of grace" for you!
Grace to help you in time of need;
grace to enable you to carry your cross after Jesus;
grace to sanctify your trials and troubles;
grace to enable you to glorify God in the fires!

FEEBLE believer, there is "abundance of grace" for you! It is in Jesus, and in Jesus for you.

The little grace you have received has brought you out of the world, has led you to His cross, and has enabled you to trust your immortal interests in His hands. But your faith is weak, your fears are strong, your doubts are painful, your inward conflicts are severe, and you often think you shall be obliged to give up all for lost.

But hear what the Apostle James says, "He gives more grace!" He who gave you what you have will give you more. Fear not, for the grace of God is sufficient for you, and He will make His strength perfect in your weakness. He is able to do exceeding and abundantly above all that we can ask or think; yes, He is able to subdue all things unto himself.

Look to Jesus, and He will save you. Yes, He will save you from sin, from Satan, and from a deserved hell; He will save you now, and save you with an everlasting salvation; and all of His grace, of His free, sovereign, and abundant grace!

There is an "abundance of grace" for all TIMES. None of us know what is before us; but times and seasons will change. There are seasons of darkness as well as light; seasons of conflict as well as peace; seasons of trial as well as triumph; seasons of sickness as well as health and at last there is the hour of death! But there is that in grace which will suit us under all circumstances, and there is grace sufficient for us, whatever trials we may have to pass through.

There is an "abundance of grace" for all PLACES. Some live and die in their fatherland, some emigrate to a foreign climate, some of us are almost stationary, others are almost always traveling about. But wherever we may be situated, the God of grace is with us, the throne of grace is before us, the promise of grace is in our hand, and there is "abundance of grace" for us!
