“If sympathy is all that human beings need, then the Cross of Christ is an absurdity and there is absolutely no need for it. What the world needs is not “a little bit of love,” but major surgery. If you think you are helping lost people with your sympathy and understanding, you are a traitor to Jesus Christ. You must have a right-standing relationship with Him yourself, and pour your life out in helping others in His way— not in a human way that ignores God. ”
― Oswald Chambers, My Utmost for His Highest
Ouch! Lord, this quote makes me question how I chose to help others. You know I want to help them, Lord. Hold me close to you and keep me listening to the ways YOU want me to help others–in ways that will glorify you.
