“It
is easier to serve God without a vision, easier to work for God without a call,
because then you are not bothered by what God requires; common sense is your
guide veneered over with Christian sentiment. You will be more prosperous and
successful, more leisure-hearted, if you never realize the call of God. But if
once you receive a commission from Jesus Christ, the memory of what God wants
will always come like a goad; you will no longer be able to work for Him on
the common-sense basis.”
Oswald
Chambers
