Have you ever realized that you can give things to God that are of value to Him? Or are you just sitting around daydreaming about the greatness of His redemption, while neglecting all the things you could be doing for Him? I'm not referring to works which could be regarded as divine and miraculous, but ordinary, simple human things - things which would be evidence to God that you are totally surrendered to Him.
Oswald ChambersTolerating a wrong attitude toward another person causes you to follow the spirit of the devil, no matter how saintly you are.
Oswald ChambersIf sympathy is all that human beings need, then the Cross of Christ is an absurdity and there is absolutely no need for it. What the world needs is not "a little bit of love," but major surgery. If you think you are helping lost people with your sympathy and understanding, you are a traitor to Jesus Christ. You must have a right-standing relationship with Him yourself, and pour your life out in helping others in His wayโ not in a human way that ignores God.
Oswald ChambersDreaming about a thing in order to do it properly is right; but dreaming about it when we should be doing it is wrong.
