What does Ellen White write about...
Adventistische Schriften über: "How can I cope with the feeling that I’m constantly doing something wrong, even though I’m not?"
Answer
The texts provided do not offer explicit guidance for persistent self-reproach when nothing has actually been done wrong. However, they encourage us not to treat a feeling of imperfection as a final judgment about ourselves: We may feel burdened and still conscientiously strive to do what is right. If possible, take a concrete look at what really happened, and let someone you trust encourage you.
Don’t confuse painful self-doubt with rejection
»We shall often have to fall at the feet of Jesus and weep over our shortcomings and mistakes; yet we must not be discouraged. Even if we are overcome, we are not cast off, not forsaken and rejected of God.«
Recognize faithful efforts and accept encouragement
»When I see anxious souls burdened with a sense of their own imperfection, yet conscientiously striving to do that which God has declared right, and know that the Lord looks down and smiles upon their faithful efforts, should I not speak a word of encouragement to those poor, trembling hearts?«

Why I built EGW Vision
Hello, I am Stephan Krol. I started this Ellen White website to make the writings of Ellen G. White and the Adventist pioneers easier to access for everyone.
EGW Vision helps you find topics, statements, and quotes faster, especially when many original sources are not yet fully available in your language. The tool searches semantically, groups relevant content by topic, and presents matching results as clearly as possible in your language.
My hope is that this tool supports personal Bible study, strengthens trust in the original sources, and helps more people discover the message of these writings with clarity, depth, and joy.
