I was shown many families who are not living as Jesus would have them; they have a work to do at home before they can make advancement in the divine life. I was shown the case of Brother B and was pointed back to the time when he first accepted the truth. It then had a transforming influence upon his life. Self was in a measure lost in the interest he felt for the truth. He sought to show his faith by his works, and his personal interests were made secondary. He loved the work of the Lord and cheerfully sought to advance the interest of His cause; the Lord accepted his efforts to serve Him, and the hand of the Lord prospered him. {3T 435.2}

Jeg fik vist mange familier som ikke lever som Jesus vil have dem til; de har et arbejde at gøre derhjemme før de kan gå frem i det guddommelige liv. Jeg fik vist Bror B's sag og blev vist tilbage til det tidspunkt da han antog sandheden første gang. Den havde en forvandlende indflydelse på hans liv. Selvet var i en grad tabt i den interesse han følte for sandheden. Han forsøgte at vise sin tro ved sine gerninger og hans personlige interesser blev gjort sekundære. Han elskede Herrens arbejde og forsøgte med glæde at fremskynde hans sags interesser; Herren antog hans anstrengelser for at tjene ham og Herrens hånd gav ham lykke.
