y faith the soul surrenders itself to God. Then that power which no human eye can<br />

see, creates a new being in the image of God.--RH, Nov 19, 1908. (ML 46.) {2MCP<br />

760.5}<br />

Great Wisdom Needed.--Great wisdom is needed in dealing with diseases caused<br />

through the mind. A sore, sick heart, a discouraged mind, needs mild treatment. . . . It is<br />

through tender sympathy that this class of invalids can be benefited. The physician<br />

should first gain their confidence <strong>and</strong> then point them to the Great Healer. If their faith<br />

can be directed to the True Physician <strong>and</strong> they can have confidence that He has<br />

undertaken their case, this will bring relief to the mind <strong>and</strong> often give health to the<br />

body.--MH 244 (1905). {2MCP 761.1}<br />

Christ's Tenderness in Dealing With <strong>Mind</strong>s.--Christ identifies His interest with that<br />

of humanity. The work that bears the divine credentials is that which manifests the spirit<br />

of Jesus, which reveals His love, His carefulness, His tenderness in dealing with the<br />

minds of men. What revelations would come to man if the curtain should be rolled back<br />

<strong>and</strong> you could see the result of your work in dealing with the erring who have needed<br />

most judicious treatment lest they should be turned out of the way. "Wherefore lift up<br />

the h<strong>and</strong>s which hang down, <strong>and</strong> the feeble knees; <strong>and</strong> make straight paths for your<br />

feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed"<br />

(Hebrews 12:12, 13).--SpT Series A, No. 3, pp. 9, 10, Aug 3, 1894. (TM 184, 185.)<br />

{2MCP 761.2}<br />

The Current of Life-giving Energy.--The power of love was in all Christ's healing,<br />

<strong>and</strong> only by partaking of that love, through faith, can we be instruments for His work. If<br />

we neglect to link ourselves in divine connection with Christ, that current of life-giving<br />

energy cannot flow in rich streams from us to the people.--DA 825 (1898).<br />

The One Source of Abiding Peace.--Abiding peace, true rest of spirit, has but one<br />

source. It was of this that Christ spoke when He said, "Come unto Me, all ye that labor<br />

<strong>and</strong> are heavy laden, <strong>and</strong> I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28). "Peace I leave with you,<br />

My peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you" (John 14:27). This<br />

peace is not something that He gives apart from Himself. It is in Christ, <strong>and</strong> we can<br />

receive it only by receiving Him.--MH 247 (1905). {2MCP 762.1}<br />

His Experience to Be Ours.--In Christ the cry of humanity reached the Father of<br />

infinite pity. As a man He supplicated the throne of God till His humanity was charged<br />

with a heavenly current that should connect humanity with divinity. Through continual<br />

communion He received life from God that He might impart life to the world. His<br />

experience is to be ours.--DA 363 (1898). {2MCP 762.2}<br />
