“Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in Him; and He shall bring it to pass.”(Psalm 37:5) ... He will be to you as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land. He says, “Come unto Me, ... and I will give you rest,”(Matthew 11:28)—rest that the world can neither give nor take away....

Words cannot describe the peace and joy possessed by him who takes God at His word. Trials do not disturb him, slights do not vex him. Self is crucified. Day by day his duties may become more taxing, his temptations stronger, his trials more severe; but he does not falter; for he receives strength equal to his need.—The Youth’s Instructor, June 26, 1902.

Christ sacrificed everything for man, in order to make it possible for him to gain heaven. Now it is for fallen man to show what he will sacrifice on his own account, for Christ’s sake, that he may win immortal glory. Those who have any just sense of the magnitude of salvation, and of its cost, will never murmur that their sowing must be in tears, and that conflict and self-denial are the Christian’s portion in this life.—The Signs of the Times, March 4, 1880.
