Counsels on Health - Ellen G. White

self-willed, defiant. They think the warning,
counsel, or reproof does not apply to them. Their
course gives them no concern. They are continually
separating themselves from the light and love of
God. They lose all discernment of sacred and
eternal things; and while they may keep up a dry
form of Christian duties, they have no heart in
these religious exercises. All too late, these
deceived souls will learn that “strait is the gate, and
narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few
there be that find it.” Matthew 7:14.
Words and actions and motives are recorded;
but how little do these light, superficial heads and
hard hearts realize that an angel of God stands
writing down the manner in which their precious
moments are employed. God will bring to light
every word and every action. He is in every place.
His messengers, although unseen, are visitors in the
workroom and in the sleeping apartment. The
hidden works of darkness will be brought to light.
The thoughts, the intents and purposes of the heart,
will stand revealed. All things are naked and open
to the eyes of Him with whom we have to do.
