God knows us through and through.  Not the most secret thought, which we most hide from ourselves, is hidden from Him.  As then we come to know ourselves through and through, we come to see ourselves more as God sees us, and then we catch some little glimpse of His designs with us, how each ordering of His Providence, each check to our desires, each failure of our hopes, is just fitted for us, and for something in our own spiritual state, which others know not of, and which, till then, we knew not.  Until we come to this knowledge, we must take all in faith, believing, though we know not, the goodness of God towards us.  As we know ourselves, we, thus far, know God.

E. B. Pusey

“Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation; the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

We may desire to bring to the Lord a perfect work.  We would like to point, when our work is done, to the beautiful ripened grain, and bound-up sheaves, and yet the Lord frustrates our plans, shatters our purposes, lets us see the wreck of all our hopes, breaks the beautiful structure we thought we were building and catches us up in his arms and whispers to us, “It’s not your work I wanted, but you.”

Beloved, let us love one another; for love is of God, and he who loves is born of God and knows God.

If I am in sickness,
my sickness may serve Him;
If I am in sorrow,
my sorrow may serve Him.
He does nothing in vain,
He knows what He is about.

Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written.

Nothing is ever wasted in the kingdom of God.  Not one tear, not all our pain, not the unanswered prayers…nothing will be wasted if we give our lives to God.  And if we are willing to be patient until the grace of God is made manifest, whether it takes one year or ninety, it will be worth the wait.

Rebecca Manley Pippert

Any one who goes ahead and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God; he who abides in the doctrine has both the Father and the Son.
