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 ChambersSelf pity is of the devil, and if I wallow in it, I cannot be used by God for his purpose in the world.
Oswald ChambersSanctification costs to the extent of "an intense narrowing of all our interests on earth and an immense broadening of all our interests in God.
Oswald ChambersIf we are in Christ the whole basis of our goings is God, not conceptions of God, not ideas of God, but God Himself. We do not need any more ideas about God, the world is full of ideas about God, they are all worthless, because the ideas of God in anyoneโs head are of no more use than our own ideas. What we need is a real God, not more ideas about Him.
