OK so I didn't have the Blog since I changed computers but now that I have it, I'll be ore intentional in checking your postings.
So I thought I would post my favorite Oswald Chambers tonight ....just because. There is no hidden 'mom' message directed at anyone in this, yet it is directed to each one. I like it so much because I beleive it is an essential truth. When we try to place anyone (or anything ) on God's altar we will end up disappointed and dispairing. In reverse whenever I find myself dispairing remembering this helps me ask the question-what have I placed on the God's altar to cause this.
It's from July 30th
"The refusal to be disllusioned is the cause of much of the suffering in human life. It works in this way-if we love a human being and do not love God, we demand of him every perfection and every rectitude, and when we do not get it we become cruel and vindictive; we are demanding of a human being that which he or she cannot give. There is only on Being Who can satisfy the last aching abyss of the human heart, and that is the Lord Jesus Christ. Why our Lord is so severe regarding every human relationship is because He knows that every relationship not based on loyalty to Himself will end in disaster. Our Lord trusted no man, yet He was never suspicious, never bitter. Our Lord's confidence in God and in what His grace could do for any man, was so perfect that He despaired of no one. If our trust is placed in human beings (including ourselves) , we shall end in despairing of everyone."
What do you think?
