• “Lord, I give up all my own plans and purposes, all my own desires and hopes, and accept Thy will for my life. I give myself, my life, my all utterly to Thee to be Thine forever. Fill me and seal me with Thy Holy Spirit. Use me as Thou wilt, work out Thy whole will in my life at any cost, now and forever.” – Betty Scott Stam, 20th Century Martyr

Annie Johnson Flint

His grace is great enough to meet the great things
The crashing waves that overwhelm the soul,
The roaring winds that leave us stunned and breathless,
The sudden storm beyond our life’s control.

 

 

His grace is great enough to meet the small things
The little pin-prick troubles that annoy,
The insect worries, buzzing and persistent,
The squeaking wheels that grate upon our joy.
–Annie Johnson Flint

“Behold, I come” – the darkness lightens
Above all sorrow and all fear;
Beyond the clouds the Daystar brightens,
And our deliverance is near;
The groaning earth awaits the hour
When all the wrongs of time are past,
And clothed with glory and with power,
The King of kings shall reign at last.
– Annie Johnson Flint

“Is God-?’ ‘Does God-?’
Man’s ‘Why?’ and ‘How?’
In ceaseless iteration storm the sky.

‘I am’; I will’; ‘I do’—sure Word of God,
Yea and Amen, Christ answers each cry;
To all our anguished questionings and doubts
Eternal affirmation and reply.”

2Co 1:20  For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.

    thanks for sharing about this book! I've recently been reading up on Annie Johnson Flint, as she wrote my favorite hymn, He Giveth More Grace. I'm excited to find this and read it.

    Allistar Begg mentioned her poem this morning on his broadcast called “I look up”. But I’m having trouble finding that poem.

    I am curious about copyrights to Annie Johnson Flint's poetry. Are they copyrighted and if so, who holds the copyright? I would like to include several of them in my writing.

    I have her book "Grace" with alot of her poems. I was looking forward to sharing them with others on Facebook, but noticed that in the beginning of the book there was a statement that nothing of hers is to be copied, reprinted, shared on any devices etc., as it's illegal. Well, that scared me off in sharing. You can get her books on Amazon, at least that one, and her poems are such a blessing.

  • “My soul remained in a kind of heavenly elysium. So far as I am capable of making a comparison, I think that what I felt each minute, during the continuance of the whole time, was worth more than all the outward comfort and pleasure, which I had enjoyed in my whole life put together. It was a pure delight, which fed and satisfied the soul. It was peasure, without the least sting, or any interruption. It was a sweetness, which my soul was lost in. It seemed to be all that my feeble frame could sustain, of that fulness of joy, which is felt by those, who behold the face of Christ, and share his love in the heavenly world.” – Sarah Edwards, wife of Jonathan Edwards
