"Jesus answered: '...Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father...’" - John 14:9

Welcome to a web site designed to inspire! Jesus told all who read his recorded words, that His character is the perfect revelation of the character of God the Father. This web sites helps expand and inform our understanding of who God is through the visionary words of Ellen White--one with whom angels visited; one whose mission in life was to exalt Jesus Christ.

“It was positively necessary that man should know his Heavenly Father, and discern his paternal attributes of character; for in becoming acquainted with God, men may become partakers of the same virtues and the same glory.”Ellen White, Review & Herald, March 9, 1897

“Sickness, suffering, and death are work of an antagonistic power. Satan is the destroyer; God is the Restorer.” Ellen White, Medical Ministry, p. 11

“But he whose eyes have been opened to see the love of Christ, will behold the character of God as full of love and compassion. God will not appear as a tyrannical, relentless being, but as a father longing to embrace his repenting son... All despair is swept from the soul when Christ is seen in his true character.” Ellen White, Review & Herald, February 3, 1891

“Only as we contemplate the great plan of redemption can we have a just appreciation of the character of God. The work of creation was a manifestation of His love; but the gift of God to save a guilty and ruined race alone reveals the infinite depths of divine tenderness and compassion…. The dearest gift that Heaven itself had to bestow has been poured out, that God 'might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.'” Ellen White, Signs of the Times, July 13, 1904

“Creation speaks to us of the skill and power of God. In His goodness God has placed on the earth beautiful flowers and trees, wonderfully adapted to the countries and the climate in which they grow. And, though sin has marred the form and beauty of the things of nature, though on them there may be seen traces of the work of the prince of the power of the air, yet they still speak of God, and still reveal some of the beauty of Eden.” Ellen White, The Upward Look, p. 334

“We are prone to look to our fellow men for sympathy and uplifting, instead of looking to Jesus. In His mercy and faithfulness God often permits those in whom we place confidence to fail us, in order that we may learn the folly of trusting in man and making flesh our arm. Let us trust fully, humbly, unselfishly in God. He knows the sorrows that we feel to the depths of our being, but which we cannot express. When all things seem dark and unexplainable, remember the words of Christ, 'What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.' John 13:7.” Ellen White, Ministry of Healing p. 486
