Desolating Hail or Seeds of Love?—Some are seen to come forth from their daily communion with God clothed with the meekness of Christ. Their words are not like a desolating hail, crushing everything before it; they come forth sweetly from their lips. They scatter seeds of love and kindness all along their path, and that all unconsciously, because Christ lives in their heart. Their influence is felt more than it is seen.—MS 24, 1887. (The S.D.A. Bible Commentary 3:1159.) {2MCP 572.2}

Trøstesløse hagl eller kærlighedens frø? — Man kan se nogle komme ud fra deres daglige samfund med Gud med et ydmygt sind ligesom Kristus. Deres ord ligner ikke et ødelæggende haglvejr, der slår alt, hvad det møder, ned; de lyder mildt fra deres læber. De sår kærlighedens og venlighedens frøkorn alle vegne, hvor de går, og alt dette uden at vide af det, fordi Kristus bor i deres hjerte. Man føler mere deres indflydelse end man ser den. — MS 24, 1887. (S.D.A. Bibelkommentar 3:1159.)
