Mind, Character and Personality, Volume 2 - Ellen G. White

1898.
Happiness the Fruit of Harmonious Action
of All Powers.—Those who serve God in sincerity
and truth will be a peculiar people, unlike the
world, separate from the world. Their food will be
prepared, not to encourage gluttony or gratify a
perverted taste, but to secure to themselves the
greatest physical strength, and consequently the
best mental conditions....
Our heavenly Father has bestowed upon us the
great blessing of health reform, that we may glorify
Him by obeying the claims He has upon us.... The
harmonious, healthy action of all the powers of
body and mind results in happiness; the more
elevated and refined the powers, the more pure and
unalloyed the happiness.—The Review and Herald,
July 29, 1884. (Counsels on Health, 50, 51.)
The Influence of Rejoicing.—God’s people
have many lessons to learn. They will have perfect
peace if they will keep the mind stayed on Him
who is too wise to err and too good to do them
