Oswald Chambers
If we were never depressed we would not be alive - only material things don't suffer depression. If human beings were not capable of depression, we would have no capacity for happiness and exaltation. Whenever you examine yourself, take into your capacity for depression.
Oswald Chambers

Oswald Chambers
When it is a question of God's almighty Spirit, never say, 'I can't.'
Oswald Chambers
