for you. Living for God, the soul sends forth to
Him its best and highest affections. Is the greatest
outflow of your love toward Him who died for
you? If it is, your love for each other will be after
heaven’s order.—Testimonies for the Church 7:45,
46 (1902).
We have an individuality of our own, and the
wife’s individuality is never to be sunk into that of
her husband.—MS 12, 1895.
Consecration Beautifies Individuality.—A
life consecrated to the service of God will be
developed and beautified in its individuality. No
person can sink his individuality in that of another,
but we are all, as individuals, to be grafted into the
one parent stock, and there is to be unity in
diversity. The great Master Artist has not made two
leaves of the same tree precisely alike; so His
creative power does not give to all minds the same
likeness. They are created to live through ceaseless
ages, and there is to be complete unity, mind
blending with mind; but no two are to be of the
same mold.—MS 116, 1898.
