When we touch the foundation of the reality of the good news of God, we will never bother Him anymore with little personal complaints.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Our Lord’s making of a disciple is supernatural. He does not build on any natural capacity of ours at all. God does not ask us to do the things that are naturally easy for us- He only asks us to do the things that we are perfectly fit to do through His grace, and that is where the cross we must bear will always come.
Oswald Chambers
Image
But God is the God of our yesterdays, and He allows the memory of them to turn the past into a ministry of spiritual growth for our future. God reminds us of the past to protect us from a very shallow security in the present.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Be relentless and hard on yourself if you are in the habit of talking about the experiences you have had. Faith based on experience is not faith faith based on God’s revealed truth is the only faith there is.
Oswald Chambers

Image
The secret of Christian quietness is not indifference, but the knowledge that God is my Father, He loves me, and I shall never think of anything He will forget. With this knowledge, worry becomes an impossibility.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Trust completely in God, and when He brings you to a new opportunity of adventure, offering it to you, see that you take it.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Never allow the thought, 'I am of no use where I am.' You are certainly of no use where you're not.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Remember that we have to ask things of God that are in keeping with the God whom Jesus Christ revealed.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Never run away with the idea that it doesn't matter much what we believe or think it does. What we believe and think, we are not what we say we believe and think, but what we really do believe and think, we are there is no divorce at all.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Leave the Irreparable Past in His hands, and step out into the Irresistible Future with Him.
Oswald Chambers
Image
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
Image
Many of us refuse to grow where we are put consequently, we take root nowhere.
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.
