I wish I could speak words which would impress us all that our only hope as individuals is to connect with God. Purity of soul must be obtained; and there is much heart searching to be done and much obstinacy and self-love to be overcome, which will require constant, earnest prayer. {4T 486.1}

Jeg ville ønske, at jeg kunne finde ord, der ville gøre det klart for os alle, at det eneste håb for hver enkelt af os er, at vi har forbindelse med Gud. Vi må opnå renhed i sjælen, megen hjerteransagelse må gøres og megen genstridighed og selvkærlighed overvindes, hvilket vil kræve vedholdende, alvorlig bøn.
