The Power of Sincere Desire and Divine Providence

心诚者自会得偿所愿，因为真诚的渴望和不懈的努力是获得神圣祝福的关键，天父乐意将圣灵赐予那些全心寻求他的人们1SM 393.2+2。

寻求与获得 💖

• 真诚的渴望：当人们被真诚的渴望所驱动而祈祷时，他们就不会徒劳。主会实现他的诺言，赐予圣灵引导他们悔改归向神，并信靠主耶稣基督1SM 393.2+1。这种真诚的渴望不仅限于祈祷，还体现在对真理的寻求和对神旨意的顺服上ARSH October 10, 1865, page 146.2+1。

• 全心寻求：神呼唤我们全心寻求他，并声明当我们这样做时，他就会被我们找到TR 91.1+1。这意味着要将我们所有的能力都投入到寻求他的工作中，并且完全信靠他GCB April 2, 1903, page 58.12。

• 信心的力量：信心是相信神的话语，不仅仅是部分，而是全部。它不仅相信神存在并会奖赏那些寻求他的人，而且相信我们自己是“困苦、可怜、贫穷、瞎眼、赤身”的 Revelation 3:17。除非我们相信这一点，否则我们的信心将缺乏一个基本要素，即对神的帮助的深刻、真诚的渴望PTUK June 14, 1894, page 369.6。

基督徒的成长与奉献 🌱

• 谦卑与顺服：要获得属灵的事物知识，需要付出真诚的努力。那些敷衍了事、三心二意的人永远不会成功。年轻人和老年人都应该阅读神的话语，并且不仅要阅读，还要认真刻苦地学习，祈祷、相信和查考。这样，他们就会找到隐藏的宝藏，因为主会使他们的悟性加快YI July 24, 1902, par. 6。

• 全心全意为神工作：每一个真正的神的儿女都会真诚地渴望顺服神的旨意，不仅是顺从，而且是积极履行职责ARSH October 16, 1860, page 174.2。被光照以辨别圣洁之美的心灵会渴望被那圣洁所装饰。认识到神圣律法卓越之处的心灵会顺服它所要求的一切ARSH October 16, 1860, page 174.2。

• 摆脱世俗诱惑：要将心从神那里引开的一切习惯和联系都必须放弃1SM 393.2+1。世界之爱已经吞噬了真正的敬虔，麻痹了心智的力量，使真理无法对生活和品格产生转变性的影响T16 55.3。我们必须努力克服对世俗的爱、自私和吝啬T16 55.3。

圣洁的生命 ✨

• 心灵的洁净：真诚的忏悔者知道没有苦修可以洗去内心的污点PTUK August 26, 1897, page 530.1。但每一个人，只要心里有基督的盼望，就会努力洁净自己，正如他是纯洁的一样ARSH October 16, 1860, page 174.2。

• 品格的转变：当真理，即庄严而重要的真理，抓住人心时，自我就会死去1T 138.1。那时，说话的方式就不会是“我要去那里，我不会留在这里”，而是真诚地询问：“神希望我在哪里？我能在哪里最荣耀他，我们的共同努力能在哪里做得最好？”1T 138.1。

与神同行 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️

• 祈祷的生命：真诚的祷告是灵魂需求的表达。我们的祷告不应是刻板而形式化的，而应充满温柔和爱。渴望对救主无与伦比的爱有更深、更广的认识，我们应该向上帝呼求更多的智慧16LtMs, Ms 182, 1901, par. 8。

• 不间断的努力：如果我们信靠主，我们就能克服一切困难ARSH October 3, 1865, page 143.16。神要求他的子民与他同工6MR 386.4，这意味着要积极努力地寻求迷失的羊，并以活泼的信心为灵魂工作1888 1753.9。

心诚者自会得偿所愿，因为神的应许是真实的，他渴望与我们建立亲密的关系，并通过我们向世界彰显他的爱和真理。愿我们都能全心寻求他，体验他丰盛的祝福14LtMs, Lt 96, 1899, par. 7.

"缘分"这个概念可以从神圣天意的角度来理解，它展现了上帝对他创造物，包括人类、天使和魔鬼的细致关怀和管理ADTE March 1846, page 1.19+2。这并非偶然，而是神圣计划的一部分，旨在将万物导向他的宏伟目标。

神圣天意与人生的轨迹 🛤️

• 全面的旨意：神圣的天意旨在使每一个被造物和每一个媒介都为上帝的全面旨意服务ADTE March 1846, page 1.19+2。这意味着我们生活中的每一个事件，无论大小，都在上帝的计划中，最终会为爱他的人带来益处，正如罗马书 8:28 所说：“万事都互相效力，叫爱神的人得益处”。

• 连接过去、现在与未来：天意就像一股洪流，将过去与现在、现在与未来连接起来，推动一切向前发展，直至最终的圆满ADTE March 1846, page 1.19+1。因此，我们所经历的“缘分”或机遇，都是这条宏大河流中的一部分，被引导向一个神圣的目的。

• 预言的轨道：这个强大、澎湃的因果、目的和成就的洪流，其流淌的渠道是“确凿的预言之言”ADTE March 1846, page 1.19+1。预言的真理是耶和华天意战车一直以来的轨道。通过留意“确凿的预言之言”，我们可以看到上帝正将他（对大多数人来说）可怕的媒介引向何方，以及他的天意计划正在走向何等宏伟的结局ADTE March 1846, page 1.19+1。

具体的显现 ✨

• 特殊引导：圣经中充满了上帝特殊天意的例子。例如，以色列人从埃及被解救出来，摩西没有按照法老的旨意被杀害，而是被自己的母亲抚养，甚至法老的女儿还付给她工资ADRE 1850, page 23.2。这表明上帝在个人生活中的具体介入和保护。

• 意想不到的帮助：在上帝的安排下，有时会出现意想不到的帮助。一些表面上与真理为敌的人，在神的引导下，会投资开发房产和建造建筑，而这些房产最终会以远低于成本的价格出售SpTB03c 2.3。这说明上帝可以利用各种途径来成就他的旨意。

• 医疗宣教工作：医疗宣教工作被视为一个“巨大的楔子”，通过它，患病的灵魂可以被触及MTC 125.3+3。这清楚地表明，上帝的天意引导着特定的工作和努力，以达成救赎的目标。

信心与信赖 💖

• 对上帝的依赖：真正的信徒在做任何事情时都依靠上帝，因为我们对自己的生命和未来没有任何掌控权ARSH October 7, 1858, page 156.13。我们不能使一根头发变白或变黑，也不能在身高上增加一肘ARSH October 7, 1858, page 156.13。这种认识促使我们信赖上帝的全面照管。

• 安静顺服：当上帝天意的方式晦涩难懂、错综复杂时，我们可能会完全不知道上帝将如何对待我们ARSH January 24, 1865, page 67.6。然而，一颗温柔平静的心会确信，如果我们爱上帝，万事都将互相效力，使我们得益处，尽管我们无法理解其方式ARSH January 24, 1865, page 67.6。这教导我们以完全的信心跟随上帝，就像亚伯拉罕出吾尔的时候，虽然不知道要去哪里，但却清楚自己所跟随的是谁ARSH January 24, 1865, page 67.6。

因此，你所说的“缘分”，从信仰的角度来看，是上帝奇妙天意的一种体现，他在我们的生命中精心安排一切，引导我们走向他的旨意和最终的救赎。

You will always find people who are helping, because the divine plan is for individuals to cooperate with God in blessing humanity, and a constant outpouring of help and light is a fundamental part of the Christian experience.RH January 18, 1887, par. 8+2

The Divine Call to Help Others 🤝

• God's Design for Humanity ✨: God, in His infinite wisdom, designed that humans should have a purpose beyond mere self-amusement. We are here to benefit humanity and be a blessing to society, and a life dedicated to serving others is characterized by thoughtfulness and attention to their needs.10MR 55.6+2

• Channels of Blessing 💧: God has entrusted humans with means and capabilities not for lavish self-gratification, but to be used in benefiting others and relieving the necessities of the suffering. He makes us mediums through which to distribute His blessings on earth.1TT 552.1+2

• Co-workers with God 🙏: Every person has an appointed work in the great field of redemption, to be a co-worker with God. This involves actively seeking to save the lost and extending truth to others.RH June 30, 1896, par. 8+2

The Nature of Helping Others 💖

• Self-Forgetfulness and Love 💗: A noble life is characterized by thoughtful attention to the needs of others. We are called to be self-forgetful, constantly watching to cheer others, and to lighten their burdens through acts of tender kindness and unselfish love. This spirit extends from the home to the wider community.3SM 240.4+2

• Practical Deeds and Spiritual Growth 🌻: Christian help work, such as feeding the hungry and clothing the naked, has a far stronger influence for good than mere preaching. Engaging in efforts to bless others brings happiness and fosters a closer connection with the Divine Master.WM 296.1+3

• Overcoming Selfishness 💔: Selfishness destroys the moral image of God in humanity, filling individuals with self-love and making them blind to the perfection God requires. Seeking the good of others is the only way to find true happiness and to overcome the narrow views that lead to spiritual feebleness.9MR 380.2+5

• The Golden Rule in Action 🌟: The Golden Rule—"Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them" Matthew 7:12—is the true standard of Christianity. It makes happiness possible and forbids using power to propagate one's own religious views on others.2MCP 645.1+5

Blessings and Rewards of Helping 🎁

• Spiritual Enrichment 🕊️: In the very effort to enlighten and bless others, one's own views become clearer and broader. The more we explain truth with a love for souls, the plainer it becomes to us.T31 116.4+1

• Disappearance of Doubts 🌫️: Many who complain of doubts often attribute it to doing nothing in God's cause. When they earnestly seek to help and bless others, their doubts and despondency disappear.2MCP 679.1

• Divine Companionship ✨: Those who labor for the good of others are working in union with heavenly angels, enjoying their constant companionship and unceasing ministry. This provides the highest education, truest culture, and most exalted service possible.6T 307.2

• Eternal Reward 👑: The most abundant reward will be given to those who mingle activity and zeal with tender pity for the poor, the orphan, and the afflicted. Christ notices every kind word and the smallest gift given out of self-denial.RH July 3, 1894, par. 9

• Abundant Grace 😇: Christ gives light and truth to enrich every soul who will enrich others. Those who impart the grace given will receive grace for grace.10LtMs, Lt 5, 1895, par. 26

Warnings Against Neglect 🚫

• Loss of Grace and Peril of Soul 📉: If those blessed with light do not diffuse it to others, they will lose the rich grace bestowed upon them. Their own souls will be brought into peril, and those they should have helped will miss God's intended labor through them.RH June 30, 1896, par. 8

• Spiritual Weakness 🤕: A church or individuals who shut themselves off from bearing burdens for others will soon suffer spiritual feebleness, much like a strong man confined from labor becomes feeble.2T 22.1+1

• Accountability in Judgment ⚖️: In the judgment, we will face those with whom we came in contact. A terrible realization will come to those who made little effort in self-denial for the salvation of others.7LtMs, Ms 27, 1891, par. 15

• Hindrance to God's Work 🛑: Those who hinder God's work by sowing seeds of discord, or who work for personal advantage rather than for the good of others, will not be approved by God.11LtMs, Ms 40, 1896, par. 18

Remember, "Every one of us has opportunities of helping others."5LtMs, Ms 24, 1887, par. 30 By embracing this truth, we not only fulfill God's purpose for our lives but also experience the profound joy and blessings that come from living a life of service and love. 💖
