The following random quotes of wisdom are from Oswald Chamber’s book, Devotions for Morning and Evening:
“By the resurrection and Ascension power of Jesus, by the sentdown Holy Ghost, we can be lifted into such a relationship with the Father that we are at one with the perfect sovereign will of God by our free choice as Jesus was.
The mature saint is just like a little child, absolutely simple and joyful and gay. Go on living the life that God would have you live and you will grow younger instead of older. This is a marvelous rejuvenescence when once you let God have His way.
The one mark of a saint is the moral originality which springs from abandonment to Jesus Christ. In the life of a saint there is this amazing wellspring of original life all the time: the Spirit of God is a well of water springing up, perennially fresh. Never make a principle out your experience: let God be as original with other people as He is with you.
If I do my duty, not for duty’s sake, but because God is engineering my circumstances, then at the very point of my obedience the whole superb grace of God is mine through the Atonement.
My attitude as a saint to sorrow and difficulty is not to ask that they may be prevented, but to ask that I may preserve the self God created me to be through every fire of furrow. The way to find yourself is in the fires of sorrow. If you receive yourself in the fires of sorrow, God will make you nourishment for other people.”
