Taken from Messages to Young People, pg. 122
Closely examine your own heart, and the state of your affections toward God. Inquire,
1. Have I devoted the precious moments of today in seeking to please myself, seeking for my own amusement? Or have I made others happy?
2. Have I helped those connected with me to greater devotion to God and to appreciate eternal things?
3. Have I brought my religion into my home, and there revealed the grace of Christ in my words and in my deportment?
4. By my respectful obedience, have I honored my parents, and thus kept the fifth commandment?
5. Have I cheerfully taken up my little, everyday duties, performing them with fidelity, doing what I could to lighten the burdens of others?
6. Have I kept my lips from evil, and my tongue from speaking guile?
7. Have I honored Christ my Redeemer, who gave His precious life that eternal life might be within my reach?
