Sufficient Strength

By Edward B. Pusey

HE who hath appointed thee thy task, will proportion it to thy strength, and thy strength to the burden which he lays upon thee. He who maketh the seed grow, thou knowest not how and seest not, will, thou knowest not how, ripen the seed which he hath sown in thy heart, and leaven thee by the secret workings of his good Spirit. Thou mayest not see the change thyself, but he will gradually change thee, make thee another man. Only yield thyself to his molding hand, as clay to the potter, having no wishes of thy own, but seeking in sincerity, however faint, to have his will fulfilled in thee, and he will teach thee what to pray for, and will give thee what he teacheth thee. He will retrace his own image on thee line by line, effacing by his grace and gracious discipline the marks and spots of sin which have defaced it.—Edward B. Pusey.
