Wat ook al oor jou pad kom, God
gee jou die genade om dit te
verduur.
Hoeveel genade is vir jou
beskikbaar? Al die genade wat
nodig is!
God sal jou nooit op ‘n plek
bring waar Sy genade nie
genoeg is nie.
Sy genade gee jou karakter-
vastheid, ‘n duidelike en seker
doel, ‘n edele voorneme, en ‘n
onwankelbare vertroue.
God het planne vir jou op die
plek waar Hy
jou geplaas het,
en Sy genade is
vir jou genoeg
om dit uit te
voer! [Uit: Vind
