A flood of light is shining from the word of God, and there must be an awakening to neglected opportunities. When all are faithful in giving back to God His own in tithes and offerings, the way will be opened for the world to hear the message for this time. If the hearts of God’s people were filled with love for Christ, if every church member were thoroughly imbued with the spirit of self-sacrifice, if all manifested thorough earnestness, there would be no lack of funds for home or foreign missions. Our resources would be multiplied; a thousand doors of usefulness would be opened, and we should be invited to enter. Had the purpose of God been carried out by His people in giving to the world the message of mercy, Christ would, ere this, have come to the earth, and the saints would have received their welcome into the city of God. {6T 449.4}

Det er ikke altid den dygtigste eller den mest begavede, hvis arbejde giver de største og varigste resultater. Hvem er de mest effektive arbejdere? Det er dem, der tager imod tilbuddet: »Tag mit åg på jer og lær af mig, thi jeg er sagtmodig og ydmyg af hjertet.«
