Heed The Counsel...

"Heed the counsel of the true Witness.

Buy gold tried in the fire that thou mayest be rich,
white raiment that thou mayest be clothed,
and eye-salve that thou mayest see.

Make some effort.

These precious treasures will not drop upon us without some exertions on our part. We must buy; "be zealous and repent" of our lukewarm state. We must be awake to see our wrongs, and to search up our sins, and to zealously repent of them."
Spiritual Gifts 4b,p.28 E.G.W.

I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire,

 that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment,

 that thou mayest be clothed,

and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear;

and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.

Revelation 3:18
