Blessed Sabbath Church Family,
These quotes from sister White were what strongly convicted me to change to a meatless
diet. I have never looked back and give all the glory to God who will make the changes
if your heart is willing.
“God has given you a habitation to care for and preserve in the best condition for His service
and glory. Your bodies are not your own.... “Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and
that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?”
Health is a blessing of which few appreciate the value.... Life is a holy trust, which God alone
can enable us to keep, and to use to His glory. But He who formed the wonderful structure
of the body will take special care to keep it in order if men do not work at cross-purposes
with Him. Every talent entrusted to us He will help us to improve and use in accordance to
the will of the Giver.
Youth is the time to establish good habits, to correct wrong ones already contracted,
to gain and to hold the power of self-control, and to lay the plan, and accustom one's self to
the practice of ordering all the acts of life with reference to the will of God.
The sacred temple of the body must be kept pure and uncontaminated, that God's
Holy Spirit may dwell therein. We need to guard faithfully the Lord's property, for any
abuse of our powers shortens the time that our lives could be used for the glory of God.
Bear in mind that we must consecrate all—soul, body, and spirit—to God. All is His
purchased possession, and must be used intelligently, to the end that we may preserve the
talent of life. By properly using our powers to their fullest extent in the most useful
employment, by keeping every organ in health, by so preserving every organ that mind,
sinew, and muscle shall work harmoniously, we may do the most precious service for God.
When we do all we can on our part to have health, then may we expect that the blessed
results will follow, and we can ask God in faith to bless our efforts for the preservation of
health.” From Our Father Cares - Page 53
“Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul
prospers.” 3 John 1:2.
May God bless your Journey to Good Health.
Your Sister in Christ,
Sandra Torres
