Graduate Level Faith

Oswald Chambers writes:

"The first thing God does with us is to get us based on rugged Reality until we
do not care what becomes of us individually as long as He gets His way for the
purpose of His Redemption. Why shouldn't we go through heartbreaks?
Through those doorways God is opening up ways of fellowship with His Son.
Most of us fall and collapse at the first grip of pain; we sit down on the threshold
of God's purpose and die away of self-pity, and all the so called Christian sympathy
we are given will aid us to our death bed. But God will not. He comes with the grip of the
pierced hand of His Son, and says - "Enter into fellowship with Me; arise and
shine." If through a broken heart God can bring His purposes to pass in the
world, then thank Him for breaking your heart." -  My Utmost for HIs Highest
