Trusting

Sophie - November 22, 2008

Every once in awhile I'll read something that hits me right where I'm living.

And today, it was this:

"I have to learn that the aim in life is God's, not mine. God is using me from His great personal standpoint, and all He asks of me is that I trust Him, and never say - Lord, this gives me such heart-ache.... He simply asks me to have implicit faith in Himself and in His goodness. Self-pity is of the devil, if I go off on that line I cannot be used by God for His purpose in the world. I have 'a world within the world' in which I live, and God will never be able to get me outside it because I am afraid of being frost-bitten." - Oswald Chambers

That'll preach, won't it?

Every time you post something from Oswald Chambers, it is something I don’t want to hear. It is something I NEED to hear, but it makes me uncomfortable because it challenges me to live larger. Old Oswald takes me out of the comfort zone of “all about me.”
