Never look for right in the other man, but never cease to be right yourself. We always look for justice in this world, but there is no such thing as justice. Jesus says — Never look for justice, but never cease to give it.

Oswald Chambers
Image
The greatest competitor of devotion to Jesus is service for Him.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Ask God for what you want, but you cannot ask if you are not asking for a right thing. When you draw near to God, you cease from asking for things.Your Father knows what things you have need of, before you ask him. Then, why ask? That you may get to know Him.
Oswald Chambers
Image
We are not meant to be seen as God's perfect, bright-shining examples, but to be seen as the everyday essence of ordinary life exhibiting the miracle of His grace.
Oswald Chambers
Image
For understanding in spiritual matters, the golden rule is not intellect but obedience.
Oswald Chambers
Image
There is nothing more certain in Time or Eternity than what Jesus Christ did on the Cross.
Oswald Chambers
Image
We are in danger of being stern where God is tender, and of being tender where God is stern.
Oswald Chambers

The loadstar of a saint is God Himself, not estimated usefulness. It is the work that God does through us that count, not what we do for him.
