I was in Dunoon College as a tutor in philosophy. God used me during those years for the conversion of souls, but I had no conscious communion with Him. I knew no one who had what I wanted; in fact I did not know what I did want. But I knew that if what I had was all the Christianity there was, the thing was a fraud. Then Luke 11:13 got hold of me.--Oswald Chambers
It is not what we have in Christ, or what we know we have in Christ, but what we take hold of by faith in Christ that ushers us into that blessed place of abiding peace and power, always conscious of His presence.--Chip Kirk
How then to have our faith increased? Only by thinking of all that Jesus is and all He is for us: His life, His death, His work, He Himself as revealed to us in the Word, to be the subject of our constant thoughts. Not a striving to have faith…but a looking off to the Faithful One seems all we need; a resting in the Loved One entirely, for time and for eternity.—Hudson Taylor |
