Let the hand of God work the clay for His own service. He knows just what kind of vessel He wants. To every man He has given his work. God knows what place he is best fitted for. Many are working contrary to the will of God, and they spoil the web. The Lord wants every one to be submissive under His divine guidance. He will place men where they will submit to be worked into oneness with Christ, bearing His divine similitude. If self will submit to be worked, if you will cooperate with God, if you will pray in unity, work in unity, all taking your place as threads in the web of life, you will grow into a beautiful fabric that will rejoice the universe of God. (Letter 63, 1898).{4BC 1154.4}

Så lad da Guds hånd bearbejde leret, så det kan tjene ham. Han ved bedst, hvilken slags redskaber han har brug for. Han har givet hvert menneske en gerning. Gud ved, hvor man passer bedst. Mange arbejder imod Guds vilje, og derved ødelægger de deres livs mønster Herren ønsker at alle skal underordne sig hans ledelse. Han vil stille mennesker der, hvor de dannes, så de lever i harmoni med Kristus og kommer til at ligne ham. Hvis selvet lader sig bearbejde, hvis I vil samarbejde med Gud og bede i fællesskab, arbejde i fællesskab, hver på sin plads som tråde i livets væv så vil I vokse sammen til en skøn helhed til glæde i Guds univers. (brev 63, 1898).
