I saw that God had specially selected Brother B to engage in a great and exalted work. He would have cares and burdens, and yet all these could be so much more easily borne with true devotion and consecration to the work. Brother B, you need a deeper draft from salvation’s fountain, a more thorough draft from the fountain of sanctification. Your will has not yet been fully submitted to the will of God. You move on because you think you cannot do otherwise; but to walk in cheerful light because you can see that Christ Jesus leads the way before you, you have failed to do. Standing in the responsible place which you occupy, you have in all this hurt your own soul and influenced others. If you walk contrary to God, He will walk contrary to you. God wants to use you, but you must die to self and sacrifice your pride. The Lord designs to use you in His cause if you will follow His opening providence and heartily and fully sanctify yourself and cleanse yourself from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. {1T 588.3}

Jeg så at Gud på en særlig måde havde udvalgt bror B til et stort og ophøjet arbejde. Han ville få bekymringer og byrder og alt dette kunne bæres meget lettere med sand hengivenhed og helligelse til arbejdet. Bror, B, du behøver at drikke dybere fra frelsens kilde, en mere gennemgribende drik fra helliggørelsens kilde. Din vilje er ikke blevet underkastet Guds vilje fuldt ud. Du fortsætter fordi du tror at du ikke kan andet; men at vandre i strålende lys fordi du kan se at Kristus Jesus leder (589) vejen for dig, det har du undladt. Ved at være i den ansvarsbetyngede stilling er i, har du alt i alt dette skadet din egen sjæl og påvirket andre. Hvis du vandrer modsat Gud, vil han vandre modsat dig. Gud behøver at bruge dig, men selvet må dø og din stolthed ofres. Herren har udtænkt at du skal bruges i hans sag, hvis du vil følge hans åbne forsyn og hjerteligt og fuldt ud hellige dig selv og rense dig selv for al kødets og åndens snavs og udvikle hellighed under frygt for Gud.
