If ye shall ask any thing in My name, I will do it. John 14:14

THIS is the word of Jesus to us this morning; it is intended to encourage and embolden us at the throne of grace, and to comfort us under all our privations and wants. Jesus has all power in heaven and in earth; all things are delivered unto Him by the Father. He has a large store, and a kind and tender heart. Let us therefore go to Him with our wants, that He may supply them; with our fears, that He may quell them; with our sins, that He may pardon and subdue them; with every thing that troubles us, or is likely to harm us. Let us go to Him with confidence. He says, What wilt thou that I shall do for thee? If you ask any thing that will do you good, promote My cause, or glorify My name, I WILL DO IT. Be not afraid to ask, for I am omnipotent; do not doubt, for I give you My word, I WILL DO IT. Oh, believer, what a friend is Jesus! how kind! how gracious! Never complain, never despond, never be cast down, while Jesus is thy FRIEND. He is, and will be thy friend for ever. Oh, make a friend of Him! Visit Him daily; trust Him implicitly; and follow Him fully. Make Him your all in all. He is worthy. He will not deceive. It is impossible for Him to lie.

Jesus, my Lord, I look to Thee; Where else can helpless sinners go? Thy boundless love shall set me free From all my wretchedness and woe.
