We are not responsible for the circumstances we are in, but we are responsible for the way we allow those circumstances to affect us; we can either allow them to get on top of us or we can allow them to transform us into what God wants us to be.

Oswald Chambers

All heaven is interested in the cross of Christ, all hell terribly afraid of it, while men are the only beings who more or less ignore its meaning.
OSWALD CHAMBERS

If I obey Jesus Christ, the redemption of God will flow through me to the lives of others, because behind the deed of obedience is the reality of Almighty God.
OSWALD CHAMBERS

Flow God Obedience Ourselves Reality

OSWALD CHAMBERS

God will never reveal more truth about himself until you have obeyed what you know already

We are only what we are in the dark; all the rest is reputation.
OSWALD CHAMBERS

It is not true to say that God wants to teach us something in our trials. Through every cloud He brings our way, He wants us to unlearn something.
OSWALD CHAMBERS

Learning Ourselves Stay Teaching True

We are not responsible for the circumstances we are in, but we are responsible for the way we allow those circumstances to affect us; we can either allow them to get on top of us or we can allow them to transform us into what God wants us to be.
