Let us praise the Lord that the lives of His children have been so precious in His sight. He might have cut off the workers in their heedlessness and self-sufficiency. But, no! He says: “They shall have another chance. I will let the fire speak to them and will see if they will counterwork the action of My providence. I will try them as by fire to see if they will learn the lesson that I desire to teach them.” {8T 102.2}

Lad os prise Herren fordi hans børns liv har været så dyrebare i hans øjne. Han kunne have afskåret medarbejderne i deres uagtsomhed og selvtilstrækkelighed. Men, nej! Han siger: "De skal have en anden chance. Jeg vil lade branden tale til dem og vil se om de vil modarbejde mit forsyns handling. Jeg vil prøve dem med ild for at se om de vil lære den lektie jeg ønsker at lære dem.”
