“He must become greater and greater, and I must become less and less.” (John 3:30, NLT)
The true test of a person’s spiritual life and character is not what he does in the extraordinary moments of life, but what he does during the ordinary times when there is nothing tremendous or exciting happening. A person’s worth is revealed in his attitude toward the ordinary things of life when he is not under the spotlight.
The individual person is merged into a personal oneness with God, and God’s stride and His power alone are exhibited.
(from My Utmost For His Highest by Oswald Chambers)
Today I am joining … Give Me Grace and Spiritual Sundays and Word of God Speak and Recommendation Saturday .
What a gorgeous photo! “A person’s worth is revealed in his attitude toward the ordinary things of life when he is not under the spotlight.”…just wow. Something to remember!
Thanks for sharing these inspiring thought, Joanne. I needed them today! And I wondered if maybe you’d given up on blogging because when I clicked on the link from your Disqus profile in my comment section it took me to a web address that is no longer. But after doing a bit more hunting, I discovered that you now have this lovely domain and new look to your blog! I really, really like it! 🙂
Joanne, this is one of my favorite quotes of Oswald Chambers!! The image is just stunning! Also, I LOVE the look of your new site! Really beautiful.
Thank you for this encouragement today. Love you! <3 Heart Hugs
