The fulfillment of God's promises

WINIFRED D. M. DUNFORD

Could there be a more benevolent and all-embracing promise than that given to Paul, in the words "My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness"? And Paul responds: "Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong." II Cor. 12:9, 10.

When the Christ-power is realized and the promise of God's love fulfilled in our lives, is there a greater joy? The effect of a true understanding of God is unsurpassed in reverent beauty.

My first awareness that God's loving promises are fulfilled came when I was living with my child in a small furnished flat and found myself no longer able to pay the rent. When I related my state of affairs to a friend, she told me that the previous evening a friend had asked her if she knew of someone who could care for a family of three. All the members of this family went out to business each day, and they needed a meal prepared for them in the evening.
