"If our devotion is to the cause of humanity, we will be quickly defeated and broken-hearted, since we will often be confronted with a great deal of ingratitude from other people. But if we are motivated by our love for God, no amount of ingratitude will be able to hinder us from serving one another."
~Oswald Chambers

words to encourage

"If human beings were not capable of depression, we would have no capacity for happiness and exaltation...
When the Spirit of God comes to us, He does not give us glorious visions, but He tells us to do the most ordinary things imaginable."

excerpt from Oswald Chambers given to me today, by a sweet friend.  i can almost audibly hear another friend of mine telling me to, "Just do the next thing."

praying His precious Spirit fills me today as i seek Him.
