The Strength I Need
He gives power to the weak, And to those who have no might He increases strength (Isaiah 40:29) I looked inside myself for strength to get me through the day, but could not find one single ounce to aid me on my way. I looked to those whom I love best, whom I considered strong, and found to my surprise they, too, were struggling along. At last I lifted up my eyes, and saw Your gentle smile, and realized You’d waited there, watching all the while. And then I heard Your tender voice, You spoke so lovingly: “All the strength you’ll ever need “is waiting here in Me. “So come to Me and ask of Me, “and let Me give to you, “the strength and courage that you need “to see each new day through.” And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9) Glenda Collins Inman
