Quote

When once you realize all that it cost God to forgive you, you will be held as in a vice, constrained by the love of God.

Image
If we are abandoned to Jesus we have no ends of our own to serve.
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
We say, sorrow, disaster, calamity. God says, chastening and it sounds sweet to him though it is a discord to our ears. Don't faint when you are rebuked, and don't despise the chastening of the Lord. In your patience possess your souls.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The greatest competitor of devotion to Jesus is service to Him. It is never 'Do, do' with the Lord, but 'Be, be' and He will 'do' through you. The only way to keep true to God is by a steady persistent refusal to be interested in Christian work and to be interested alone in Jesus Christ.
Oswald Chambers
Image
If we are devoted to the cause of humanity, we shall soon be crushed and broken-hearted, for we shall often meet with more ingratitude from men than we would from a dog but if our motive is love to God, no ingratitude can hinder us from serving our fellow men.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Fretting springs from a determination to get our own way.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Our work begins where God's grace has laid the foundation we are not to save souls, but to disciple them.
Oswald Chambers
Image
When someone thinks that to develop a holy life he must always be alone with God, he is no longer of any use to others.
Oswald Chambers
Image
At His Ascension our Lord entered Heaven, and He keeps the door open for humanity to enter.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Beware of bartering the Word of God for a more suitable conception of your own.
Oswald Chambers
Image
God is the Great Engineer, creating circumstances to bring about moments in our lives of divine importance, leading us to divine appointments
Oswald Chambers
Image
A saint realizes that it is God who engineers his circumstances consequently there are no complaints, only unrestrained surrender to Jesus.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The remarkable thing about God is that when you fear God, you fear nothing else, whereas if you do not fear God, you fear everything else.
Oswald Chambers
Image
It's one thing to go through a crisis grandly, yet quite another to go through every day glorifying God when there is no witness, no limelight, and no one paying even the remotest attention to us.
Oswald Chambers
Image
We must build our faith not on fading lights but on the Light that never fails.
Oswald Chambers
Image
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
Image
Obey God in the things he shows you, and instantly the next thing is opened up. God will never reveal more truth about himself until you have obeyed what you know already...this chapter brings out the delight of real friendship with God.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The golden rule for understanding spiritually is not intellect, but obedience. If a man wants scientific knowledge, intellectual curiosity is his guide but if he wants insight into what Jesus Christ teaches, he can only get it by obedience.
Oswald Chambers
Image
There is no greater threat to our devotion to Christ than our service for Christ.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Let the consequences of your obedience be left up to God.
Oswald Chambers
