God Wants the Heart

  Deuteronomy 5:29.   “O that there were such an heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with their children for ever!”
  Proverbs 23:26.   “My son, give me your heart, and let your eyes observe my ways.”

What Does Jesus See When He Sees Into the Heart?

  Review & Herald, November 17, 1885.   “Outwardly all is joy; but the eye of Jesus, beholding the throng with the tenderest compassion, sees the soul, parched, and thirsting for the waters of life.”  
  Review & Herald, February 28, 1882.   “All the blessings which the world can give fail to satisfy the wants of the soul.  There is a nameless longing for something which they have not, a peace and rest that is not born of earth…. Christ alone can satisfy that sense of want in the human soul.”  

As a means of overcoming prejudice and gaining access to minds, medical missionary work must be done, not in one or two places only, but in many places where the truth has not yet been proclaimed. We are to work as gospel medical missionaries, to heal the sin-sick souls by giving them the message of salvation. This work will break down prejudice as nothing else can. — Testimonies for the Church 9:211.
