AK 1:45{Begin with the eighth chapter of Matthew, and trace out all through the Gospels how others came to Jesus with all sorts of different needs, and trace in these your own spiritual needs of cleansing, healing, salvation, guidance, sight, teaching. They knew what they wanted, and they knew Whom they wanted. And consequently they just came. Ask the Lord to show you what you want and Whom you want, and you will talk no more about what it means, you will just come! And then you will say, "Now, we believe, not because of thy saying; for we have heard Him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world"; and you will say, "My Lord and my God.”
Will you not come to Him for peace?
Peace through His cross alone.
He shed His precious blood for you;
The gift is free, the word is true:
He is our peace—oh, is He your own?
Will you not come to Him for rest?
All that are weary, come!
The rest He gives is deep and true.
'Tis offered now, 'tis offered you!
Rest in His love, and rest in His home.
