    8. Impact of Her Life

    Another thing about Ellen White that gives her authority and relevance for me is the fruit of her life. During her lifetime she held no church offices. Surprising as it may be for students of nineteenth-century religious movements, Ellen White left no monuments to herself. Rather, her life was driven by a sense of destiny wrapped up in her call to be God’s messenger. She focused on making God better understood as she relayed to others His messages to her.LSS 8.4

    A. G. Daniells, General Conference president from 1901-1922, and long-time fellow worker with Ellen White, wrote in 1935:LSS 8.5

    “I can say that it is my deep conviction that Mrs. White’s life far transcends the life of anyone I have ever known or with whom I have been associated.... I never once heard her boast of the gracious gift God had bestowed upon her, or of the marvelous results of her endeavors. She did rejoice in the fruitage, but gave all the glory to Him who wrought through her.” 11. The Abiding Gift of Prophecy, p. 368.
