"N athaniel and Anna White After we returned from our Eastern journey, I was shown that we were in danger of taking burdens upon us that God did not require us to bear. We had a part to act in the cause of God, and should not add to our cares by increasing our family to gratify the wishes of any. I saw that in order to save souls we should be willing to bear burdens; and that we should open the way for my husband's brother Nathaniel and his sister Anna to come and live with us. They were both invalids, yet we extended to them a cordial invitation to come to our home. This they accepted. LS 146"
"Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ."
The EGW passage directly reflects the principle of bearing one another's burdens, as seen in Galatians 6:2. The context of caring for invalids strengthens the connection.
"The next morning the physician came, and as he entered, said, “I told my wife about one o'clock this morning that in all probability the young man was out of his trouble.” He was told that he was alive. The physician was surprised, and immediately ascended the stairs to his room. As he felt the pulse, he said: “Young man, you are better, the crisis is past; but it is not my skill that saved you, but a higher power. With good nursing you may get well.” He gained rapidly, and soon took his place in the Office, a converted man. LS 146.1"
"Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;"
Both passages attribute healing to a power higher than human skill. The EGW passage quotes the physician acknowledging a 'higher power,' while Psalm 103:3 directly states that God 'healeth all thy diseases.' The connection is clear and meaningful.
