In one of His precious lessons to His disciples, our Saviour described God’s care for His creatures in these words: “Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God? But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.” He who stoops to notice even the little birds has a special care for all branches of His work. All who are employed in our institutions are under the eye of the infinite God. He sees whether their duties are performed with strict integrity or in a careless, dishonest manner. Angels are walking unseen through every room of these institutions. Angels are constantly ascending to heaven, bearing up the record with joy or sadness. Every act of fidelity is registered, every act of dishonesty also is recorded, and every person is finally to be rewarded as his works have been. {4T 564.2}

I en af sine dyrebare lektier til sine disciple, beskrev vor Frelser Guds omsorg for sine skabninger med disse ord: »Sælges ikke fem spurve for et par skilling? og ikke én af dem er glemt hos Gud; ja, endog alle jeres hovedhår er talt.« Han som nedværdiger sin opmærksomhed til endog små fugle, har en særlig omsorg for alle grenene i sit værk. Alle som arbejder på vore institutioner er under den uendelige Guds øjne. Han ser hvorvidt deres opgaver udføres med nøje hæderlighed eller på en ligegyldig, uærlig måde. Engle vandrer usynligt igennem hvert rum i disse institutioner. Engle stiger hele tiden op til himmelen, med en glædelig eller sørgelig optegnelse. Enhver handling i troskab registreres, enhver handling i vanære registreres også og enhver person belønnes til sidst efter hvordan hans gerninger har været.
