Happiness depends on what happens joy does not.
Oswald Chambers

Oswald Chambers
Image
When God gives a vision, transact business on that line, no matter what it costs.
Oswald Chambers

The aim of the missionary is to do God's will, not to be useful, not to win the heathan he is useful and does win the heathen, but that is not his aim. His aim is to do the will of his Lord.
Oswald Chambers
