Annie Johnson Flint had a life filled with hardships, but her soul flourished in her love for Christ. Out of her sufferings came sweet poems, rich in faith and truths that are only gleaned in fiery trials. How many have been blessed by her rich songs, only eternity will tell. May these precious words bless your heart today:
“He giveth more grace when the burdens grow 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.
Fear not that thy need shall exceed His provision,
Our God ever yearns His resources to share;
Lean hard on the arm everlasting, availing,
The Father both thee and thy load will upbear.
His love has no limits, His grace has no measure,
His power no boundary known unto men,
For out of His infinite riches in Jesus,
He giveth, and giveth, and giveth again.
Annie Johnson Flint.
