Self pity is of the devil, and if I wallow in it, I cannot be used by God for his purpose in the world.
Oswald ChambersThe real test of a saint is not one's willingness to preach the gospel, but one's willingness to do something like washing the disciples' feet - that is, being willing to do those things that seem unimportant in human estimation but count as everything to God.
Oswald ChambersI have no right to say I believe in God unless I order my life as under His all-seeing Eye.
Oswald ChambersSome prayers are followed by silence (from God) because they are wrong, others because they are bigger than one can understand. It will be a wonderful moment for some of us when we stand before God and find that the prayers we clamored for in early days and imagined were never answered, have been answered in the most amazing way, and that God's silence has been the sign of the answer.
