"Let not the poor feel that there is nothing that they can do, because they have not the wealth of their brethren. They can sacrifice in many ways. They can deny self. They can live devoted lives, and in their words and acts they can honor their Redeemer. The sisters especially can exert a strong influence if they will cease their gossiping and devote their time to watchfulness and prayer. They can honor God. They can let their light so shine that others, by seeing their good works, will be led to glorify our Father which is in heaven. 2T 246.3"
"Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven."
EGW directly alludes to Matthew 5:16, encouraging believers to let their good works shine as an example to others.
