Fresh Grace in a New Year


Spending time together with family over the holidays has been so encouraging!
As a family, we share not only lovely dinners, but times to share our blessings and our prayer requests. Life is full of struggles... I told our son Eric last Sunday..."life is NOT fair" to one of his complaints. But... despite the injustice prevalent in this time on earth, we as believers live our lives with a promise provided by our loving Savior, the Lord Jesus.

"For God has said, Lo, I am with you always." Hebrews 13:6b

"He gives us more grace." James 4:6

_______He Giveth More Grace________

He giveth more grace when the burden grows 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.

Refrain:
His love has no limit;
His grace has no measure;
His pow'r has no boundary known unto men.
For out of His infinite riches in Jesus,
He giveth, and giveth, and giveth again!

(Written by Annie Johnson Flint in 1941)
