He who took humanity upon Himself knows how
to sympathize with the sufferings of humanity. Not
only does Christ know every soul, and the
peculiar needs and trials of that soul, but He
knows all the circumstances that chafe and
perplex the spirit. His hand is outstretched in
pitying tenderness to every suffering child. Those
who suffer most have most of His sympathy
and pity. He is touched with the feeling of our
infirmities, and He desires us to lay our
perplexities and troubles at His feet and
leave them there. Ministry of Healing 249
Ultimate secret to success with
stress:
Those who surrender their lives to His
guidance and to His service will never be
placed in a position for which He has not
made provision. Whatever our situation, if we
are doers of His word, we have a Guide to
direct our way; whatever our perplexity, we
have a sure Counselor, whatever our sorrow,
bereavement, or loneliness, we have a
sympathizing Friend. Ministry of Healing 249
