co-laborers in community services

Remember that there is a world to save. We are to act our part, standing close by the side of Christ as his colaborers. He is the head; we are His helping hand. He designs that we, by doing medical missionary work, shall undo the heavy burdens and let the oppressed go free. Let us not close our eyes to the misery around us or our ears to the cries of distress which are continually ascending. Christ is the greatest missionary the world has ever known. He came to uplift and cheer the sorrowing and distressed, and in this work we are to cooperate with him.--Manuscript 31, 1901.  {WM 118.2}

And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins. 
 Use hospitality one to another without grudging. 
 As every man hath received the gift, [even so] minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. 

{1Peter 4:8-10}

For I was an hungered, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:  I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not. {matt. 25:42-43}

A merry heart doeth good [like] a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones. {Proverbs 17:22} 

The pleasure of doing good to others imparts a glow to the feelings which flashes through the nerves, quickens the circulation of the blood, and induces mental and physical health.--Testimonies, vol. 4, p. 56.  {ChS 271.2}
