The best measure of a spiritual life is not its ecstasies but its obedience.

Oswald Chambers

When God gets us alone through suffering, heartbreak, temptation, disappointment, sickness, or by thwarted friendship – when He gets us absolutely alone, and we are totally speechless, unable to ask even one question, then He begins to teach us.
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.
