God helps those who help themselves.
Benjamin Franklin

My experience confirms this pithy statement. And I have also found, He also sometimes helps those who can't help themselves like going up on that old rugged cross for us.

This is one of those age old paradoxes.

Let us do all we can with all we got while trusting God that our best is good enough and He's got the rest we need. He is the ultimate Hero and different Maker.

What about you? Can you confirm, deny and/or supplement this?
