A life of intimacy with God is characterized by joy.

Oswald Chambers

A saint realizes that it is God who engineers his circumstances; consequently there are no complaints, only unrestrained surrender to Jesus.

The only way we can be of use to God is to let Him take us through the crooks and crannies of our own characters.

OSWALD CHAMBERS

Beautiful Belief Beware Sound Yourself
To say that ‘prayer changes things’ is not as close to the truth as saying, ‘prayer changes me and then I change things.’ God has established things so that prayer, on the basis of redemption, changes the way a person looks at things.

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.

All our fret and worry is caused by calculating without God.
OSWALD CHAMBERS

It is a joy to Jesus when a person takes time to walk more intimately with Him. The bearing of fruit is always shown in scripture to be a visible result of an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ.
OSWALD CHAMBERS

Never focus your eyes on the obstacle or the difficulty. The obstacle will be a matter of total indifference to the river that will flow steadily through you if you will simply remember to stay focused on the Source.
