You will be more prosperous and successful, more leisure-hearted, if you never realize the call of God.
Oswald Chambers

The well of your incompleteness runs deep, but make the effort to look away from yourself and to look toward Him.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The real attitude of sin in the heart towards God is that of being without God it is pride, the worship of myself, that is the great atheistic fact in human life.
Oswald Chambers

Oswald Chambers
Image

Oswald Chambers
Image
God never fits His word to suit me He fits me to suit His word.
Oswald Chambers

I cannot give up my will - I must exercise it, putting it into action.
Oswald Chambers
