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.”

Mark 14:38
The Revised Standard Version

The saints are the sinners who keep on trying.

Robert Louis Stevenson
