Living a life of faith means never knowing where you are being led - but it does mean loving and knowing the One who is leading. It is literally a life of FAITH, not of understanding and reason- - a life of knowing Him who calls us to go.

Spiritual lust causes me to demand an answer from God, instead of seeking God Himself who gives the answer.
Oswald Chambers
Image
It is easier to serve God without a vision, easier to work for God without a call, because then you are not bothered by what God requires common sense is your guide, veneered over with Christian sentiment. You will be more prosperous and successful, more leisure-hearted, if you never realize the call of God.
Oswald Chambers
Image
All heaven is interested in the cross of Christ, all hell terribly afraid of it, while men are the only beings who more or less ignore its meaning.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Our natural virtues can never come anywhere near what Jesus Christ wants.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The greatest test of Christianity is the wear and tear of daily life it is like the shining of silver: the more it is rubbed the brighter it grows.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Every God-given vision will become real if we will only have patience.
Oswald Chambers
Image
God has one destined end for mankind - holiness! His one aim is the production of saints. God is not an eternal blessing-machine for men. He did not come to save men out of pity. He came to save men because He had created them to be holy.
