Labor for Others When our own hearts are right with God, we shall feel an intense desire to do all we can in bringing the light of truth before those who have not heard it. In the great work of warning the world, God has committed to his people a sacred trust. We are laborers together with God. As thou hast sent me into the world, said Christ, speaking of his disciples, even so have I also sent them into the world. In the formation of character, we are to represent the One who gave his life for the world, and if we are alert, we shall see, on the right hand and on the left, opportunities to speak words for the Master. {RH, August 15, 1907 par. 12} If we neglect these opportunities, the time will come when there will be spoken to us by those we have not warned, words of reproach and bitterness: YOU KNEW OF THESE TERRIBLE JUDGMENTS THAT WERE COMING. WE WERE ASSOCIATED TOGETHER, BUT YOU DID NOT TELL US. Why did you not warn us, that we might have escaped? May God help us that we may not have upon our garments, because of our neglect, the blood of souls! {RH, August 15, 1907 par. 13} We have a work to do in our world, a work similar to that which Christ performed. This spiritual work must precede every other interest of our lives. That which is temporal must ever be made secondary to the requirements of God. It will not profit us to put ourselves forward in this world, at the expense of our Christianity.
