Worrying Ourselves Out of the Arms of Jesus—If we educated our souls to have more faith, more love, greater patience, a more perfect trust in our heavenly Father, we would have more peace and happiness as we pass through the conflicts of this life. The Lord is not pleased to have us fret and worry ourselves out of the arms of Jesus. He is the only source of every grace, the fulfillment of every promise, the realization of every blessing....Our pilgrimage would indeed be lonely were it not for Jesus. “I will not leave you comfortless” (John 14:18), He says to us. Let us cherish His words, believe His promises, repeat them by day and meditate upon them in the night season, and be happy.—MS 75, 1893. (HC 120.) {2MCP 468.1}

(468) Bekymre os selv ud af Jesu arme — Hvis vi uddannede vore sjæle til at have mere tro, mere kærlighed, større tålmodighed, en mere fuldkommen tillid til vor himmelske Fader, ville vi have mere fred og lykke, idet vi gennemgår dette livs konflikter. Herren er er ikke glad for at vi er irriterede og bekymrer os selv ud af Jesu arme. Han er den eneste nådens kilde, opfyldelsen af ethvert løfte, erkendelse af enhver velsignelse. . . . Vor pilgrimsvandring vil i virkeligheden være ensomhed om det ikke var for Jesus. ”Jeg vil ikke efterlade jer trøstesløse” (Joh 14, 18), siger Han til os. Lad os værne om Hans ord, tro på hans løfter, gentage dem dag for dag og meditere over dem i nattestunderne, og være glad.—MS 75, 1893. (HC 120.)
