“We must never put our dreams of success as God's purpose for us; His purpose may be exactly the opposite. His purpose is that I depend on HIM and in HIS power NOW. His end is the process. It is the process, not the end, which is glorifying to God....His purpose is for this minute, not for something in the future. We have nothing to do with the 'afterwards' of obedience. If we have a further end in view, we do not pay sufficient attention to the immediate present; if we realize that obedience is the end, then each moment as it comes is precious.” IfsMayEndsMomentsDreamPurposeProcessRealizingViewsPayAttentionMinutesDependsOppositesObedienceSufficientOur Dreams Author:Oswald Chambers

“Do not depend on the hope of results. You may have to face the fact that your work will be apparently worthless and even achieve no result at all, if not perhaps results opposite to what you expect. As you get used to this idea, you start more and more to concentrate not on the results, but on the value, the rightness, the truth of the work itself. You gradually struggle less and less for an idea and more and more for specific people. In the end, it is the reality of personal relationship that saves everything.” PeopleIfsMayIdeasEndsFactsWisdomRealityFacesUsedValuesResultsStruggleAchieveDependsOppositesWorthlessPersonal Relationships Author:Thomas Merton
