He giveth more grace when the burdens grow greater,
He sendeth more strength when the labors increase,
To added affliction He addeth His mercy,
To multiplied trials, his multiplied peace.
When we have exhausted our store of endurance,
When our strength has failed ere the day is half done,
When we reach the end of our hoarded resources,
Our Father's full giving is only begun.
His love has no limit, His grace has no measure,
His power no boundary known unto men,
For out of His infinite riches in Jesus,
He giveth and giveth and giveth again.

I recently finished reading Evidence not Seen by Darlene Diebler Rose, an incredible book about a native Iowan who served as a missionary in New Guinea with an unreached people group and survived four years in a notorious Japanese prison camp during WWII. I would highly recommend this book!
Nestled into the pages of this inspirational and challenging story were the beautiful words quoted above. The deep truths contained in this hymn resounded deep with me and have been a source of encouragement and strength for me over the past few days. I'm hoping to find time to commit it to memory so I can always carry it with me!
