If I put my own good name before the other's highest good, then I know nothing of Calvary's love
Amy Carmichael
Image
If a sudden jar can cause me to speak an impatient, unloving word, then I know nothing of Calvary love. For a cup brimful of sweet water cannot spill even one drop of bitter water, however suddenly jolted.

Image
We have all eternity to celebrate the victories but only a few hours before sunset to win them.
Amy Carmichael
Image
I believe truly that Satan cannot endure it and so slips out of the room - more or less - when there is a true song.
Amy Carmichael
Image
If the ultimate, the hardest, cannot be asked of me if my fellows hesitate to ask it and turn to someone else, then I know nothing of Calvary love.

Image
He said Love...as I have loved you. We cannot love too much.
Amy Carmichael
Image
Love knows how to do without what it naturally wants. Love knows how to say, 'What does it matter.'
Amy Carmichael
Image
If I belittle those whom I am called to serve, talk of their weak points in contrast perhaps with what I think of as my strong points if I adopt a superior attitude, forgetting Who made thee to differ? and what hast thou that thou hast not received? then I know nothing of Calvary love.

Soldiers may be wounded in battle and sent to a hospital. A hospital isn't a shelf. It's a place of repair. And a soldier in the spiritual army is never off his battlefield. He is only removed to another part of the battlefield when a wound interrupts what he was meant to do, and sets him doing something else.

Image
If I am content to heal a hurt slightly, saying Peace, peace, where is no peace if I forget the poignant word Let love be without dissimulation and blunt the edge of truth, speaking not right things but smooth things, then I know nothing of Calvary love.

Joy is not gush. Joy is not mere jolliness. Joy is perfect acquiescence ~ acceptance, rest ~ in God’s will, whatever comes.
Amy Carmichael
Image
One can't save and then pitchfork souls into heaven... Souls are more or less securely fastened to bodies... And as you can't get the souls out and deal with them separately, you have to take them both together.

One must as willingly be nothing, as something.

God Hold us to that which drew us first, when the Cross was the attraction, and we wanted nothing else.

Nothing is worth doing at all, nothing is worth writing, which does not do something which will last.

Thank God, He doesn't measure out grace in teaspoons.
