More quotes by Amy Carmichael
Love accepts the trying things of life without asking for explanations. It trusts and is at rest.
Amy Carmichael
The only expenditure, and all its outworkings, for which God can be held to be responsible is that which He directs.
Amy Carmichael
Every work undertaken in obedienced to a divine command, whether the work be that form of conflict with the powers of darkness that we call prayer, or whether it be the action that follows, leads sooner or later to a new demand on personal devotion to our Lord Jesus Christ.
Amy Carmichael
I would rather burn out than rust out.
Amy Carmichael
Part of a soldier's duty is to fill gaps...one must be willing to be nothing, as something.
Amy Carmichael
If monotony tries me, and I cannot stand drudgery if stupid people fret me and little ruffles set me on edge if I make much of the trifles of life, then I know nothing of Calvary love.
Amy Carmichael
There is nothing dreary or doubtful about (the life). It is meant to be continually joyful...We are called to a settled happiness in the Lord whose joy is our strength.
Amy Carmichael
It is a safe thing to trust Him to fulfill the desires which He creates
Amy Carmichael
The best training is to learn to accept everything as it comes, as from Him whom our soul loves. The tests are always unexpected things, not great things that can be written up, but the common little rubs of life, silly little nothings, things you are ashamed of minding one scrap
Amy Carmichael
Can we accept the unexplained, the loss, The crushing agony, and hold us still. And nowhere is that clearer vision given Which pierces a bewildering providence, And opens windows upon highest heaven, But where we see Suffering Omnipotence.
Amy Carmichael
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?
Amy Carmichael
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.
Amy Carmichael
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.
Amy Carmichael
The saddest thing one meets is a nominal Christian.
Amy Carmichael
Joy is not gush. Joy is not mere jolliness. Joy is perfect acquiescence ~ acceptance, rest ~ in God’s will, whatever comes.
Amy Carmichael
If you have never been hurt by a word from God, it is probably that you have never heard God speak.
Amy Carmichael
If the praise of others elates me and their blame depresses me if I cannot rest under misunderstandin g without defending myself if I love to be loved more than to love, to be served more than to serve, then I know nothing of Calvary love.
Amy Carmichael
If I am inconsiderate about the comfort of others, or their feelings, or even of their little weaknesses if I am careless about their little hurts and miss opportunities to smooth their way if I make the sweet running of household wheels more difficult to accomplish, then I know nothing of Calvary love.
Amy Carmichael
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.
Amy Carmichael
Thank God, He doesn't measure out grace in teaspoons.
