"no fruit.” They looked with astonishment at the quantity I had. I said, “There are more to be gathered from these bushes.” They began picking, but soon stopped, saying, “It is not fair for us to pick here; you found this spot, and the fruit is yours.” But I replied, “That makes no difference. Gather wherever you can find anything. This is God's field, and these are His berries; it is your privilege to pick them.” GW 136.4"
"Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest."
The EGW passage uses the analogy of a field and berries to illustrate God's provision and the privilege of gathering from it. This parallels the concept in Matthew 9:37-38, where Jesus speaks of the harvest being plentiful and the need for laborers. Both passages emphasize the abundance of God's provision and the importance of participating in His work.
