 “Repeat the words of the pioneers in our work, who knew what it cost to search for the truth as for hidden treasure, and who labored to lay the foundation of our work.”

E.G.W.  The Review and Herald, May 25, 1905

Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be established in the present truth.

1 Peter 1:12 

"You know the truth,
you believe the truth,
you even love the truth.
But the truth hasn't changed you.
Let the truth change you."
Ellen White

"Keep your wants,

your joys,

your sorrows,

your cares,

and your fears before God.

You cannot burden Him;

you cannot weary Him.

He who numbers the hairs of your head is not indifferent to the wants of His children.
The Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy. James 5:11.
His heart of love is touched by our sorrows and even by our utterances of them.
*Take to Him everything that perplexes the mind.

*Nothing is too great for Him to bear, for He holds up worlds, He rules over all the affairs of the universe.
*Nothing that in any way concerns our peace is too small for Him to notice.
*There is no chapter in our experience too dark for Him to read; there is no perplexity too difficult for Him to unravel. .... no sincere prayer escape the lips, of which our heavenly Father is unobservant, or in which He takes no immediate interest.
......He knows the sorrows that we feel to the depths of our being, but which we cannot express."
Steps To Christ p.69,70 E.G.W.

"How careful should we be in every word and act to follow closely

the Pattern, that our example may lead men to Christ. 

With what care should we seek so to present the truth that others by beholding its beauty and simplicity may be led to receive it. 

If our characters testify of its sanctifying power, we shall be a continual light to others—

living epistles, known and read of all men." 

E.G.W.
