All life's training is just exactly what is needed for the true Life-work, still out of view but far away from none of us. Don't grudge me the learning of a new lesson.

If our children were to grow up truthful they much be taught by those who had a regard for truth and not just a casual regard, a delicate regard. On this point we were adamant.

Image
We knew our Father. There was no need for persuasion. Would not His Fatherliness be longing to give us our hearts' desire (if I may put it so)? How could we press Him as though He were not our own most loving Father?

Image
A cup brimful of sweetness cannot spill even one drop of bitter water, no matter how suddenly jarred.
Amy Carmichael
Image
If I put my own good name before the other's highest good, then I know nothing of Calvary's love
Amy Carmichael
Image
Hereby perceive we the love of God, because He laid down His life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. How often I think of that 'ought.' No sugary sentiment there. Just the stern, glorious trumpet call, OUGHT. But can words tell the joy buried deep within? Mine cannot. It laughs at words.

Let nothing be said about anyone unless it passes through the three sieves: Is it true? Is it kind? Is it necessary?

Our loving Lord is not just present, but nearer than the thought can imagine - so near that a whisper can reach Him.

O Love of God, do this for me: Maintain a constant victory.

Have you given your child unreservedly to the Lord for whatever He will? ...O may He strengthen you to say YES to Him if He asks something which costs.

Image
If by doing some work which the undiscerning consider 'not spiritual work' I can best help others, and I inwardly rebel, thinking it is the spiritual for which I crave, when in truth it is the interesting and exciting, then I know nothing of Calvary love.
Amy Carmichael
Image
If souls can suffer alongside, and I hardly know it, because the spirit of discernment is not in me, then I know nothing of Calvary love.

Image
Thank God, He does not measure grace out in teaspoons.
Amy Carmichael
Image
Love accepts the trying things of life without asking for explanations. It trusts and is at rest.
Amy Carmichael
Image
Does it not stir up our hearts, to go forth and help them, does it not make us long to leave our luxury, our exceeding abundant light, and go to them that sit in darkness?
Amy Carmichael
Image
When I consider the cross of Christ, how can anything that I do be called sacrifice?
Amy Carmichael
Image
It is a safe thing to trust Him to fulfill the desires which He creates
Amy Carmichael
Image
He said Love...as I have loved you. We cannot love too much.

But God is the God of the waves and the billows, and they are still His when they come over us and again and again we have proved that the overwhelming thing does not overwhelm. Once more by His interposition deliverance came. We were cast down, but not destroyed.

Image
Let us not be surprised when we have to face difficulties. When the wind blows hard on a tree, the roots stretch and grow the stronger, Let it be so with us. Let us not be weaklings, yielding to every wind that blows, but strong in spirit to resist.

If Thy dear home be fuller, Lord, For that a little emptier. My house on earth, what rich rewards. That guerdon were.
