Quote

Strength of my heart, I need not fail, Not mind to fear but to obey, With such a Leader, who could quail? Thou art as Thou wert yesterday. Strength of my heart, I rest in Thee, Fulfil Thy purposes through me.

I would rather burn out than rust out.

Those who think too much of themselves don't think enough.

Let nothing be said about anyone unless it passes through the three sieves: Is it true? Is it kind? Is it necessary?
Amy Carmichael
Image
The mere telling of how a need was met is often like telling of a need, which is asking crookedly instead of straight out. But this much I will say--with every fresh need has come a fresh supply.

It is not the place where we are, or the work that we do or cannot do that matters, it is something else. It is the fire within that burns and shines, whatever be our circumstances.

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.

If I am afraid to speak the truth lest I lose affection, or lest the one concerned should say, You do not understand, or because I fear to lose my reputation for kindness if I put my own good name before the other's highest good, then I know nothing of Calvary love.

Ours should be the love that asks not 'how little?' but, 'how much?' The love that delights to pour out everything upon the feet of our Beloved.

Part of a soldier's duty is to fill gaps...one must be willing to be nothing, as something.
Amy Carmichael
Image
If I slip into the place that can be filled by Christ alone, making myself the first necessity to a soul instead of leading it to fasten upon Him, then I know nothing of Calvary love.

Image
Joy is not gush. Joy is not mere jolliness. Joy is perfect acquiescence ~ acceptance, rest ~ in God’s will, whatever comes.

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.

Do not fight the thing in detail: turn from it. Look ONLY at your Lord. Sing. Read. Work.

There are many rooms in the House of Pain.

Love knows how to do without what it naturally wants. Love knows how to say, 'What does it matter.'
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.

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