| "Before honor is humility. To fill a high place before men, Heaven
chooses the worker who, like John the Baptist, takes a lowly place before
God. The most childlike disciple is the most efficient in labor for God.
The heavenly intelligences can co-operate with him who is seeking, not
to exalt self, but to save souls. He who feels most deeply his need of
divine aid will plead for it; and the Holy Spirit will give unto him
glimpses of Jesus that will strengthen and uplift the soul. From communion
with Christ he will go forth to work for those who are perishing
in their sins. He is anointed for his mission; and he succeeds where
many of the learned and intellectually wise would fail." | | (Desire of Ages 436) |

consecrated to God. [more] |
