If we believe in Jesus, it is not what we gain but what He pours through us that really counts. God’s purpose is not simply to make us beautiful, plump grapes, but to make us grapes so that He may squeeze the sweetness out of us.
Oswald Chambers

More quotes by Oswald Chambers
The center of salvation is the Cross of Jesus, and the reason it is so easy to obtain salvation is because it cost God so much.
Oswald Chambers
There is a call to spiritual perseverance. A call not to hang on and do nothing, but to work deliberately, knowing with certainty that God will never be defeated.
Oswald Chambers
Your priorities must be God first, God second, and God third, until your life is continually face to face with God.
Oswald Chambers
Faith is not intelligent understanding, faith is deliberate commitment to a Person where I see no way.
Oswald Chambers
Never try to help God fulfill His word.
Oswald Chambers
Can Jesus Christ see the agony of His soul in us? He can't unless we are so closely identified with Him that we have His view concerning the people for whom we pray. May we learn to intercede so wholeheartedly that Jesus Christ will be completely and overwhelmingly satisfied with us as intercessors.
Oswald Chambers
Beware of any work for God that causes or allows you to avoid concentrating on Him. A great number of Christian workers worship their work. The only concern of Christian workers should be their concentration on God.
Oswald Chambers
All our fret and worry is caused by calculating without God.
Oswald Chambers
The peace that Jesus gives is never engineered by circumstances on the outside.
Oswald Chambers
God never gives strength for tomorrow, or for the next hour, but only for the strain of the minute.
Oswald Chambers
Self pity is of the devil, and if I wallow in it, I cannot be used by God for his purpose in the world.
Oswald Chambers
The true expression of Christian character is not in good-doing but in God-likeness.
Oswald Chambers
The man who prays ceases to be a fool
Oswald Chambers
It is much easier to do something than to trust in God. That is why there are so few fellow workers with God and so many workers for Him. We would far rather work for God than believe in Him.
Oswald Chambers
The whole meaning of prayer is that we may know God.
Oswald Chambers
We must learn to tell ourselves the truth on the basis of God’s Word.
Oswald Chambers
God is not saving the world it is done. Our business is to get men and women to realize it.
Oswald Chambers
At times God puts us through the discipline of darkness to teach us to heed Him. Song birds are taught to sing in the dark, and we are put into the shadow of God’s hand until we learn to hear Him.
Oswald Chambers
If for one whole day, quietly and determinedly, we were to give ourselves up to the ownership of Jesus and to obeying his orders, we should be amazed at its close to realize all he had packed into that one day.
Oswald Chambers
Having the reality of God's presence is not dependent on our being in a particular circumstance or place, but is only dependent on our determination to keep the Lord before us continually.
Oswald Chambers
