We all need more of the deep love of Jesus in the soul, and far less of the natural impetuosity. We are in danger of closing up our own path by arousing the determined spirit of opposition in men in authority, before the people are really enlightened in regard to the message God would have us bear. God is not pleased when by our own course of action we bar the way so that the truth is prevented from coming to the people.—Undated Manuscript 79. {Ev 304.5}

Vi behøver mere af Jesu dybe kærlighed i sjælen, og langt mindre af den naturlige drivkraft. Vi er i fare for at hegne op om vor sti idet vi er i fare for at opvække en opsætslighed hos myndighedspersoner, før folk virkelig er klar over budskabet, Gud vil have os til at frembære. Gud er ikke (305) behaget når vi, med vor egen handlemåde, spærrer vejen, så at sandheden forhindres i at nå ud til folk. - Udateret manuskript 79.
