Plumer) Jesus knows all my wants and weaknesses; all my sin and misery. He knows the malice of my enemies, and the foolishness of my heart. He has power to subdue my whole nature to Himself, and to defeat the wiles and machinations of my foes. His grace is all -sufficient. His love is infinite. His wisdom cannot be defeated. His power cannot be resisted. He has all power and strength --and I am very weak. He has all the knowledge to understand my whole case, and all the wisdom necessary to direct everything concerning me. He makes no mistakes. He is never deceived. He is never outsmarted. He knows all things. He knows my weaknesses. He knows my sorrows. He knows my heart. His wisdom never fails. He is never confounded or perplexed. He has as much mercy and kindness as I need. His loving -kindness is so great that we cannot fathom its top or the bottom --the length or the breadth of it. The ocean of the Divine love is boundless and inexhaustible! It is infinite! I have no sorrow to which He is a stranger. He sympathizes with me in all my sufferings and temptations. I need just such a friend.
