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

Doing Good Releases Positive Forces.—The
pleasure of doing good animates the mind and
vibrates through the whole body. While the faces
of benevolent men are lighted up with cheerfulness
and their countenances express the moral elevation
of the mind, those of selfish, stingy men are
dejected, cast down, and gloomy. Their moral
defects are seen in their countenances.—
Testimonies for the Church 2:534 (1870).
Security Improves Health.—When men who
have indulged in wrong habits and sinful practices
yield to the power of divine truth, the application
of that truth to the heart revives the moral powers,
which had seemed to be paralyzed. The receiver
possesses stronger, clearer understanding than
before he riveted his soul to the Eternal Rock. Even
his physical health improves by the realization of
his security in Christ. The special blessing of God
resting upon the receiver is of itself health and
strength.—Christian Temperance and Bible
Hygiene, 13, 1890. (Counsels on Health, 28.)
