"In every phase of human experience apart from Jesus, there
is something that hinders our getting full joy.
We may have the fulfillment of our ambitions, we may have love and
money, yet there is the sense of something unfulfilled, something not finished,
not right. A man [woman] is only joyful
when s/he fulfills the design of God’s creation of him, and that is a joy that
can never be quenched." --Oswald Chambers
(Reminds me of the first catechism question—What is the
chief end of man? To glorify God and
enjoy Him forever.)
"It takes a sharp discipline for many of us to learn that our
goal is God Himself, not joy, nor peace, nor even blessing, but God Himself. Oh the joy of life with God and in God and for God!" --Oswald Chambers
--A street in Paris--
