Is God pleased to see any of the organs or faculties he has given man neglected, misused, or deprived of the health and efficiency it is possible for them to have? Then cultivate the gift of faith. Be brave, and overcome every practice which mars the soul temple. We are wholly dependent on God, and our faith is strengthened by believing, though we can not see God's purpose in his dealing with us, or the consequence of this dealing. Faith points forward and upward to things to come, laying hold of the only power that can make us complete in him. "Let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me," God declares; "and he shall make peace with me." By Mrs. E. G. White.

Er Gud glad for at se de organer eller evner som han har givet menneskene blive forsømt, misbrugt eller berøvet den sundhed og virkeevne som det var muligt for dem at have? Opelsk troens gave. Vær brav, og overvind enhver skik der ødelægger sjælstemplet. Vi er helt afhængige af Gud, og vor tro styrkes ved at tro, skønt vi ikke kan se Guds formål med hans behandling af os, eller konsekvensen af denne behandling. Tro peger fremad og opad til kommende ting, griber fat i den eneste kraft der kan gøre os fuldstændig i ham. ”Med mindre man tyr til mit værn, slutter fred med mig,” erklærer Gud, ”slutter fred med mig.”
