You are extremely sensitive. You feel deeply and have not possessed the power to throw off care, perplexity, and discouragement of mind. I saw that God would be to you a very present help if you would only trust yourself with Him; but you worry yourself out of the arms of your dear, loving Saviour. “He that spared not His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?” What a precious promise is this! We may claim much of our kind heavenly Father. Great blessings are in reserve for us. We may believe in God, we may trust Him, and by so doing glorify His name. Even if we are overcome of the enemy, we are not cast off, not forsaken and rejected of God. No; Christ is at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. “If any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.” {2T 319.1}

Vær ikke selvcentreret. Overvind dine opfattelser, dine smålige særheder og forsøg kun at fremstille Jesus. Når du taler og beder ved et møde, så gør det ikke for længe. Her er det gået galt. Dette kan du råde bod på. Lang tale og lange bønner er til stade for dig selv og er ikke til gavn for dem der hører på. Du må arbejde nøje for at overvinde det. Dette kan du hvis du går stille og roligt ind til arbejdet. Her behøver du at vogte dig selv. Du er urolig, hastig og nervøs. Dette må du også overvinde.
