More quotes by Amy Carmichael
The saddest thing one meets is a nominal Christian. I had not seen it in Japan where missions is younger. The church here is a “field full of wheat and tares.
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
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.
Amy Carmichael
Our loving Lord is not just present, but nearer than the thought can imagine - so near that a whisper can reach Him.
Amy Carmichael
There is only one way of victory over the bitterness and rage that comes naturally to us--To will what God wills brings peace.
Amy Carmichael
If I put my own good name before the other's highest good, then I know nothing of Calvary's love
Amy Carmichael
All along, let us remember we are not asked to understand, but simply to obey.
Amy Carmichael
When I consider the cross of Christ, how can anything that I do be called sacrifice?
Amy Carmichael
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.
Amy Carmichael
We have all eternity to celebrate the victories but only a few hours before sunset to win them.
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 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.
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
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.
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
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
God, harden me against myself!
Amy Carmichael
It is great to be faced with the impossible, for nothing is impossible if one is meant to do it. Wisdom will be given, and strength. When the Lord leads, He always strengthens.
Amy Carmichael
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.
Amy Carmichael
What is the secret to great living? Entire separation to Christ and devotion to Him. Thus speaks every man and woman whose life has made more than a passing flicker in the spiritual realm. It is the life that has no time for trifling that counts.
Amy Carmichael
