Divine Help.

The strength, the force which is appointed to live your burdens, to run your race, to find your truth, to hold the canopy of faithfulness over your head is not you. It is you and God. For you to try and do it alone is natural. It is almost as if the engine tried to carve without the artist. It is engine and steam that are to make the running power. It is the artist and power that are to carve a statue. It is God and you that live your life. For you to try to live all alone is to try to do all the work with one part) of the power, God is not a crutch coming to help your strength. The stronger you are the more thoroughly you are yourself.— Rev. D. S. Hamilton.
