    Right Doing Makes Glad the Heart, May 7

    Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart. Psalm 97:11.RRe 129.1

    Righteousness has its root in godliness. No human being is righteous any longer than he has faith in God and maintains a vital connection with Him. As a flower of the field has its root in the soil; as it must receive air, dew, showers, and sunshine, so must we receive from God that which ministers to the life of the soul.—Testimonies for the Church 7:194.RRe 129.2

    Not by painful struggles or wearisome toil, not by gift or sacrifice, is righteousness obtained; but it is freely given to every soul who hungers and thirsts to receive it.—Thoughts from the Mount of Blessing, 18.RRe 129.3

    Righteousness is love, and love is the light and life of God. The righteousness of God is embodied in Christ. We receive righteousness by receiving Him.—Ibid.RRe 129.4

    Many ... build barriers between themselves and Jesus, so that His love cannot flow into their hearts, and then they complain that they do not see the Sun of Righteousness. Let them forget self, and live for Jesus, and the light of heaven will bring gladness to their souls.—Counsels to Parents, Teachers, and Students, 232.RRe 129.5
