Of course. Here are several similar quotes from Ellen White's writings that echo the theme of every person having a divinely appointed work according to their abilities.
### Direct Parallels
These quotes use very similar phrasing and directly state the principle:
* "To His servants Christ commits 'His goods'—something to be put to use for Him. He gives 'to every man his work.' Each has his place in the eternal plan of heaven. Each is to work in co-operation with Christ for the salvation of souls. Not more surely is the place prepared for us in the heavenly mansions than is the special place designated on earth where we are to work for God." (
COL 326.4)
* "To every man is given his work; not one is excused. Each has a part to act, according to his capacity..." (GW92 15.3)
* "To every man God has appointed his work; not work in his fields of corn and wheat, but earnest, persevering work for the salvation of souls." (
MC 72.3)
### The Uniqueness and Reward of the Work
These passages emphasize that the work is unique to the individual and will be rewarded:
* "God has given to every man his work, and no one else can do that work for him." (
4T 615.1)
* "He who has appointed 'to every man his work' (Mark 13:34) according to his ability, will never let the faithful performance of duty go unrewarded. Every act of loyalty and faith will be crowned with special tokens of God's favor and approbation." (
CT 518.2)
### The Diversity of Roles
This quote highlights that God assigns different types of work to different people:
* "To Every Man His Work. Every branch of the work of God is to have recognition. 'He gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ.' Ephesians 4:11, 12. This Scripture shows that there are to be different workers, different instrumentalities. Each has a different work." (
8T 170.1)
### The Call to Action
These quotes serve as a call to recognize and take up this personal work:
* "The Lord is calling upon us to awake to a realization of our responsibilities. God has given to every man his work. Each one may live a life of usefulness." (
7T 58.2)
* "God designed that all should be workers. Upon those whose abilities and opportunities are the greatest, rest the heaviest responsibilities; and upon them will fall the heaviest condemnation if they are unfaithful to their trust." (
CTBH 98.1)
