For twenty years I have made this a rule. Christ is just as habitually
near, as personally present to me as any other person living; and when
I have any troubles, trials, and afflictions, I go to Him with them.
When I want counsel I go to Him, just as if I could talk face to face
with Him. Twenty years ago God met me one night and took me to His
bosom, and I would sooner give up my life to-night than give up
Christ, or that I should leave Him, or that He should leave me, and
that I should have no one to bear my burdens, or tell my sorrows to.
Why, He is worth more than all the world beside; and to-night He will
have compassion upon you as He had upon me. I tried for weeks to find
a way to Him, and I just went and laid my burden upon Him, and then He
revealed Himself to me, and I have ever since found Him a true and
sympathizing friend, just the friend you need. Go right straight to
Him. You need not go to this man or that man, to this church or that
church. "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life."
