Counsels on Health - Ellen G. White

cannot be self-centered. We are living in the time
of special conflict between the powers of light and
those of darkness. Go forth; let your light shine;
diffuse its rays to all the world. Christ and the
heavenly messengers co-operating with human
agencies, will bring the unfinished parts of the
work to a perfect whole. Not to fill our place
because we love our ease, because we would avoid
care and weariness, is not to shine; and how
terrible the guilt, how fearful the consequences!
There should be those who are preparing
themselves to become Christian missionary
physicians and nurses. Doors will then be opened
into the families of the higher classes as well as
among the lowly. All the influences that we can
command must be consecrated to the work. From
the home mission should extend a chain of living,
burning light to belt the world, every voice and
every influence echoing, “The Spirit and the bride
say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come....
And whosoever will, let him take the water of life
freely.” Revelation 22:17.
