HOW blessed it is to have to do with an understanding God! He with whom we have to do knows our inmost thoughts and all the reasonings of our hearts. Yet knowing us so well, knowing all our sins and failures, He calls us into fellowship with Himself, and delights to reveal Himself to all who turn to Him in truth. To seek Him is to find, and to be found of, Him. To turn away from Him is to forsake our own mercies, and to learn by sad experience the evil of departure from the living God.
“How wonderful to have a Friend
Who always understands!
Who knows, who loves, who cares when all
Is placed in His dear hands;
Who sees our inmost secret thoughts.
The longings deep within;
And, greater still, who died for us
To rescue us from sin!
And so, today, shall we not place
Our all in His dear hands,
With springing tears of gratitude
For One who understands?”
