If God allows you to be stripped of the exterior portions of your life, He means for you to cultivate the interior
Oswald ChambersWe have an idea that God is leading us to a particular end, a desired goal; He is not...What we call the process God calls the end. His purpose is that I depend on Him and His power NOW. It is the process, not the end that is glorifying to God.
Oswald ChambersNever consider whether you are of use; but ever consider that you are not your own but His.
Oswald ChambersThe test of the life of a saint is not success, but faithfulness in human life as it actually is. We will set up success in Christian work as the aim; the aim is to manifest the glory of God in human life, to live the life hid with Christ in God in human conditions. Our human relationships are the actual conditions in which the ideal life of God is to be exhibited.
