Needful Grace

You may imagine a cabinet with fifty or a hundred drawers and each of these labeled with some valuable article and you are permitted to go in and open each drawer and take out what you will. It is so in God's house. Christ is the Treasury of all spiritual gifts and graces. In Him are found wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, peace, power, preserving grace, restoring grace, consolation in sorrow, and effectual help and support in every season of adversity. And by faith and prayer, we are to go continually, and ask and receive abundantly, according to our need.

Do not limit God's free and rich supply of grace in Christ by the thought of your own demerits. It is not on account of any works or worthiness of yours but for the sake of Christ's work and Christ's worthiness, that God is ever willing to bestow on you all needful grace.
