Part of a soldier's duty is to fill gaps...one must be willing to be nothing, as something.
Amy Carmichael
Image
We profess to be strangers and pilgrims, seeking after a country of our own, yet we settle down in the most un-stranger-like fashion, exactly as if we were quite at home and meant to stay as long as we could. I don't wonder apostolic miracles have died. Apostolic living certainly has.

If you would live in victory . . . you must refuse to be dominated by the seen and the felt.
Amy Carmichael
Image
If I find myself half-carelessly taking lapses for granted, Oh, that's what they always do. Oh, of course she talks like that, he acts like that, then I know nothing of Calvary love.
Amy Carmichael
Image
All along, let us remember we are not asked to understand, but simply to obey.

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