God's Promise

God's Promise

A Poem by Elizabeth Porterfield
"

The promise of strength

"

"I am weak"

I cry as I fall to His feet

"But Your strength never ends

I beg of You some strength to lend."

"My child," He whispers,

"I am always here.

There is nothing that you need to fear

My strength I freely give to you

to do that which I'd ask you to."

"My Lord," I say

"That need not be

For you have always carried me."

"My child," He replies

"There are things that you must do

You'll fall and I will carry you.

In times when you do not see Me,

You'll need my strength that you might see

My light, My way, My holy truth

And finish what you're called to do."
