if only

"a Christian worker has to learn how to be God's noble man or woman amid a crowd of ignoble things. never make this plea - 'if only I were somewhere else!' all God's men are ordinary men made extraordinary by the matter He has given them. paul's whole heart and mind and soul were taken up with the great matter of what Jesus Christ came to do... we have to face ourselves with the one central fact - Jesus Christ and Him crucified.

'I have chosen you.' keep that note of greatness in your creed. it is not that you have got God but that He has got you. here, in this college, God is at work, bending, breaking, moulding, doing just as He chooses. why He is doing it, we do not know; He is doing it for one purpose only- that He may be able to say, 'this is My man, My woman.' we have to be in God's hand so that He can plant men on the Rock as He has planted us.

let Him have His way."
-oswald chambers

for we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them
