"To be a disciple means that we deliberately identify ourselves with God's interests in other people. Jesus says, "That you love one another, as I have loved you..." The expression of Christian character is not good doing, but Godlikeness. If the Spirit of God has transformed you within, you will exhibit Divine characteristics in your life, not good human charateristics. God's life in us expresses itself as God's life, not as a human life trying to be godly." -- Oswald Chambers
Are you trying to be godly, or you letting the Spirit of God move you, remind you, to love one another?
Surrender. Be transformed.
-P.G.
One of my treasured Oswald Chambers quotes is "God does not give us overcoming life; He gives us LIFE as we overcome." This makes me know that when I share with others His transforming life in me it will be God's life to others too. Amen & Amen
