Testimonies for the Church, Volume 9 - Ellen G. White

Chapter 65
The Importance of Personal
Labor
Among the members of our churches there
should be more house-to-house labor in giving
Bible readings and distributing literature. A
Christian character can be symmetrically and
completely formed only when the human agent
regards it as a privilege to work disinterestedly in
the proclamation of the truth and to sustain the
cause of God with means. We must sow beside all
waters, keeping our souls in the love of God,
working while it is day, and using the means the
Lord has given us to do whatever duty comes next.
Whatever our hands find to do, we are to do it with
faithfulness; whatever sacrifice we are called upon
to make, we are to make it cheerfully. As we sow
beside all waters we shall realize that "he which
soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully." (2
Corinthians 9:6)
