Now, Martha, do not look to yourself, but away to Jesus. Talk of His love, talk of His goodness, talk of His power; for He will not suffer you to be tempted above that you are able to bear. But in Christ is our righteousness. Jesus makes up our deficiencies because He sees we cannot do it ourselves. While praying for you I see a soft light encompassing a hand stretched out to save you. God’s words are our credentials. We stand upon them. We love the truth. We love Jesus. Feelings are no evidence of God’s displeasure.{2MCP 808.2}

Martha, se ikke på dig selv, men bort hen til Jesus. Tal om Hans kærlighed, tal om Hans godhed, tal om Hans kraft; for Han vil ikke tillade, at du bliver fristet mere end du kan bære. Men vor retfærdighed er i Kristus. Jesus dækker vore mangler fordi Han ser at vi ikke kan gøre det i os selv. Når jeg beder for dig, ser jeg et blødt lys der omgiver en hånd, udrakt for at frelse dig. Guds ord er vor legitimation. Dette står vi på. Vi elsker sandheden. Vi elsker Jesus. Følelser er ikke bevis på Guds mishag.
