Opposition Avoided by Personal Work—In God’s service obstacles must be met and difficulties encountered. Events belong to God; and His servants must meet with difficulties and opposition; for they are His chosen methods of discipline and His appointed conditions of sure progress, advancement, and success. But I entreat the servants of the Lord Jesus to remember that there is a work which may be done quietly, without arousing that strong opposition which closes hearts to the truth.—Letter 95, 1896. {Ev 445.2}

Modstand undgås ved personligt arbejde. – I Guds tjeneste må forhindringer imødekommes og kæmpes med vanskeligheder. Resultaterne tilhører Gud og Hans tjenere må imødekomme vanskeligheder og modstand, for de Hans udvalgte oplærings metoder og Hans udpegede betingelser for sikker vækst, fremgang og succes. Men jeg bønfalder jer min tjenere i Herre Jesus, at huske på at der er et arbejde som skal gøres i det stille, uden at vække stærk modstand, hvilket lukker hjerter for sandheden. – Brev 95, 1896.
