In the spiritual domain, criticism is love turned sour. In a wholesome spiritual life there is no room for criticism. The critical faculty is an intellectual one, not a moral one. If criticism becomes a habit it will destroy the moral energy of the life and paralyse spiritual force. The only person who can criticise human beings is the Holy Spirit.
Oswald ChambersDon't plan without God. God seems to have a delightful way of upsetting the plans we have made, when we have not taken Him into account.
Oswald ChambersThe test is the sixty seconds of every minute, and the sixty minutes of every hour, not our times of prayer and devotional meetings.
Oswald ChambersIf a crisis has come to you on any front, surrender your will to Jesus absolutely and irrevocably.
Oswald ChambersWhen the Spirit fills us, we are transformed, and by beholding God we become mirrors. You can always tell when someone has been beholding the glory of the Lord, because your inner spirit senses that he mirrors the Lordโs own character. Beware of anything that would spot or tarnish that mirror in you. It is almost always something good that will stain it- something good, but not what is best.
Oswald Chambers
