“Go to your confessor; open your heart to him; display to him all the recesses of your soul; take the advice that he will give you with the utmost humility and simplicity.

“My personal life may be crowded with small petty incidents, altogether unnoticeable and mean; but if I obey Jesus Christ in the haphazard circumstances, they become pinholes through which I see the face of God, and when I stand face to face with God I will discover that through my obedience thousands were blessed. When once God's Redemption comes to the point of obedience in a human soul, it always creates. If I obey Jesus Christ, the Redemption of God will rush through me to other lives, because behind the deed of obedience is the Reality of Almighty God.” IfsHumansMayMeanSoulRealityFacesJesusChristBehindsCircumstancesJesus ChristBlessedDeedsGods WillRedemptionObedienceAlmightyPersonal LifePettyIncidentsHuman SoulCrowdedFace To FaceAlmighty GodHaphazard Book:Run Today's Race: A Word from Oswald Chambers for Every Day of the Year Source: Run Today's Race: A Word from Oswald Chambers for Every Day of the Year
“The reward of renunciation is some good greater than the thing renounced. To renounce with no vision of such a good, from fear or in automatic obedience to a formula, is to weaken the springs of life, and to diminish the soul's resistance to this world.” WorldSoulVisionGreaterThis WorldSpringRewardsResistanceObedienceFormulasDiminishRenounceRenunciation Book:The progress of a biographer Source: The progress of a biographer
“There is no surer mark of a low and unregenerate nature than this tendency of power to loudness and wantonness instead of quietness and reverence. To souls baptized in Christian nobleness the largest sphere of command is but a wider empire of obedience, calling them, not to escape from holy rule, but to its full impersonation.” SoulChristianPowerHolyCallingLowsMarkCommandTendenciesObedienceEmpiresSpheresReverenceQuietnessBaptizedBaptized In Author:James Martineau
“The essence of that by which Jesus overcame the world was not suffering, but obedience. Yes, men may puzzle themselves and their hearers over the question where the power of the life of Jesus and the death of Jesus lay; but the soul of the Christian always knows that it lay in the obedience of Christ. He was determined at every sacrifice to do His Father's will. Let us remember that; and the power of Christ's sacrifice may enter into us, and some little share of the redemption of the world may come through us, as the great work came through Him.” KnowsMenWorldMayLittlesSoulChristianRememberSufferingFatherJesusChristSacrificeShareEssenceLaysDeterminedRedemptionObediencePuzzlesFridayGreat WorkGood Friday Author:Phillips Brooks
