"The love of God, the very nature of God, is introduced into us, and the nature of Almighty God is focused in John 3:16--'God so loved the world....'We have to maintain our soul open to the fact of God's creative purpose, and not muddle it with our own intentions. If we do, God will have to crush our intentions on one side however much it may hurt. The purpose for which the missionary is created is that he may be God's servant, one in whom God is glorified. When once we realize that through the salvation of Jesus Christ we are made perfectly fit for God, we shall understand why Jesus Christ is so ruthless in His demands. He demands absolute rectitude from His servants, because He has put in them the very nature of God.
Beware lest you forget God's purpose for your life."
-Oswald Chambers, My Utmost For His Highest
