Testimonies for the Church, Volume 2 - Ellen G. White

Inquire into the health of their souls. What does a
skillful physician do? He inquires into the
particulars of the case, then seeks to administer
remedies. Just so the physician of the soul should
inquire into the spiritual maladies with which the
members of his flock are afflicted, then go to work
to administer the proper remedies, and ask the
Great Physician to come to his aid. Give them the
help that they need. Such ministers will receive all
that respect and honor which is due them as
ministers of Christ. And in doing for others their
own souls will be kept alive. They must be drawing
strength from God in order to impart strength to
those to whom they shall minister.
May the Lord help us to seek Him with all the
heart; I want to know that I daily gather the divine
rays from glory, that emanate from the throne of
God and shine from the face of Jesus Christ, and
scatter them in the pathway around me. I want to
be all light in the Lord.
