What concerns did Ellen Harmon have about sharing the message?

• A. Poor health, too young, fear of being proud
• B. Lack of education, fear of crowds
• C. Language barrier, physical weakness
• D. Family opposition

Answer: (A)

Her experience shows how a call from God can meet a person’s human limitations with humility. When Ellen Harmon began receiving visions as a young girl, her frail health and youth made the prospect of sharing a divine message feel daunting. She feared that, if she spoke publicly, it might turn into pride or self-exaltation rather than true service. This combination of poor health, being very young, and worry about personal ambition was the main obstacle she wrestled with as she considered sharing the message. Yet she sought God’s guidance, recognizing that real empowerment would come from Him rather than from her own strength. Other potential concerns, like lack of education, fear of crowds, language barriers, or family opposition, aren’t the primary issues documented in her early handling of the call.
