“God lays a little on us every day,
And never, I believe, on all the way
Will burdens bear so deep,
Or pathways lie so threatening and so steep,
But we can go, if by God’s power
We only bear the burden of the hour.”
There is a phrase in one of the Gospels, referring to Christ, which is very suggestive. The whole verse reads: “Of His fullness have all we received, and grace for grace.” The words “grace for grace” are very suggestive. They describe the manner in which the Divine fullness is given out. The meaning is, grace instead of grace, one grace coming in the place of another when the first has done its work.
