If God allows you to be stripped of the exterior portions of your life, He means for you to cultivate the interior
Oswald ChambersNo healthy Christian ever chooses suffering; he chooses God's will, as Jesus did, whether it means suffering or not.
Oswald ChambersThe knowledge that God has loved me beyond all limits will compel me to go into the world to love others in the same way.
Oswald ChambersThe Christian life is stamped by 'moral spontaneous originality,' consequently the disciple is open to the same charge that Jesus Christ was, viz., that of inconsistency. But Jesus Christ was always consistent to God, and the Christian must be consistent to the life of the Son of God in him, not consistent to hard and fast creeds. Men pour themselves into creeds, and God has to blast them out of their prejudices before they can become devoted to Jesus Christ.
