Counsels on Health - Ellen G. White

in order to reach the very lowest standard, but
arouse to grasp the fullness of Christ, that you may
do much for Him.—Testimonies for the Church

Helping Those Who Need Help
[Testimonies for the Church 8:136-144 (1890).]
As God’s agencies we are to have hearts of flesh,
full of the charity that prompts us to be helpful to
those more needy than ourselves. If we see our
brethren and sisters struggling under poverty and
debt, if we see churches that are in need of
financial aid, we should manifest an unselfish
interest in them and help them in proportion as God
has prospered us. If you who have charge of an
institution see other institutions bravely struggling
for standing room, so that they may do a work
similar to the work of the institutions with which
you are connected, do not be jealous.
Do not seek to push a working force out of
existence and to exalt yourself in conscious
superiority. Rather curtail some of your large plans
