Had my husband felt that he could leave this matter all with the Lord, and that their murmurings and their neglect were against the Master instead of the servant in the Master’s service, he would not have felt so aggrieved, and it would not have hurt him. He should have left it with the Lord, whose servant he is, to fight his battles for him and vindicate his cause. Then he would have finally received a precious reward for all his sufferings for Christ’s sake. {3T 98.1}

Havde min mand følt at han kunne overlade denne sag helt til Herren og at deres knurren og deres forsømmelser var imod Mesteren i stedet for imod tjeneren i sin Mesters gerning, ville han ikke have været så stridbar og det ville ikke have skadet ham. Han burde have overladt det til Herren, hvis tjener han er, at kæmpe sine kampe for sig forsvare sin sag. Så ville han til sidst have modtaget en kostbar løn for alle sine lidelser for Kristi skyld.
