All Heaven Longs For Our Co-operation
When the soul is content to lift itself up unto #vanity, the Spirit of the Lord can do little for it. Our #shortsighted vision beholds the shadow, but cannot see the glory beyond...
I tell you in the name of the Lord God of Israel that all injurious, discouraging influences are #held in control by unseen angel hands, until every one that works in the fear and love of God is #sealed in his forehead.
The whole heavenly universe is interested, and the law of God is exercised in behalf of His #faithful, #commandment-#keeping people.... All heaven is waiting and longing for our co-operation....
—Letter 138, 1897.
