Amy Carmichael
From all that dims Thy Calvary, O Lamb of God, deliver me.
Amy Carmichael
If I cannot in honest happiness take the second place (or the twentieth) if I cannot take the first without making a fuss about my unworthiness, then I know nothing of Calvary love.
Amy Carmichael
I wish thy way. And when in me myself should rise, and long for something otherwise, Then Lord, take sword and spear And slay.

Amy Carmichael
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
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
Soldiers may be wounded in battle and sent to a hospital. A hospital isn't a shelf. It's a place of repair. And a soldier in the spiritual army is never off his battlefield. He is only removed to another part of the battlefield when a wound interrupts what he was meant to do, and sets him doing something else.
Amy Carmichael
Our enemy is more aware than we are of the spiritual possibilities that depend upon obedience.
Amy Carmichael
There is always something to be happy about if we look for it: ‘Two men looked through prison bars, The one saw mud, the other stars.'
