"The gospel of the grace of God awakens an intense longing in human souls and an equally intense resentment, because the truth that it reveals is not palatable or easy to swallow. There is a certain pride in people that causes them to give and give, but to come and accept a gift is another thing. I will give my life to martyrdom; I will dedicate my life to service-I will do anything. But do not humiliate me to the level of the most hell-deserving sinner and tell me that all I have to do is accept the gift of salvation through Jesus Christ...We have to realize that we cannot earn or win anything from God through our own efforts..." -Oswald Chambers

My prayer today for you and me is that we have eyes to see, both our own destitution and hope in Christ. I pray that we would "never begin work till (we) have had a good season with God. The vigor of our spiritual life will be in exact proportion to the place held by the Word in our life and thoughts." -George Mueller
