working hard to get it.

The sovereignty of divine grace, 

displayed in the revelation of Messiah 

to my soul was the first saving truth 

that ever Elohim made known to me: 

And, as I could not find one person in a thousand 

that had ever seen or felt the same power, 

it confirmed to me still more 

that what Elohim had done for and in me was a sovereign act.

I have since been further confirmed in this truth, 

because it was revealed to me

who never sought it, never expected it 

and is withheld from thousands who are working hard to get it.
