"It will be a difficult work to overcome prejudice, and to convince the unbelieving that our efforts to help them are disinterested. But this should not hinder our labor. There is no precept in the word of God that tells us to do good to those only who appreciate and respond to our efforts, and to benefit those only who will thank us for it. God has sent us to work in His vineyard. It is our business to do all we can. “In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that.” Ecclesiastes 11:6 . LS 207.1"
"In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good."
Ellen White directly references Ecclesiastes 11:6 in this passage.
"And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not."
While EGW quotes Ecclesiastes 11:6 directly, the connection to Galatians 6:9 is a valid principle. Both passages encourage persistent good works even when the immediate results are not apparent.
"We have too little faith. We limit the Holy One of Israel. We should be grateful that God condescends to use any of us as His instruments. For every earnest prayer put up in faith for anything, answers will be returned. They may not come just as we have expected; but they will come—not perhaps as we have devised, but at the very time when we most need them. But, oh, how sinful is our unbelief! “If ye abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.” John 15:7 . LS 207.2"
"If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you."
Ellen White directly references John 15:7 in this passage.
"But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him."
Both passages emphasize the importance of faith in receiving answers to prayer. Hebrews 11:6 highlights the necessity of believing God is a rewarder, while EGW connects faith to answered prayer, referencing John 15:7.
