There may be love, understanding love, all around us, and yet we may be needing some word of life in our own soul, something that would do what only the Divine can do. “Lord, to whom shall we go? Thou hast the words of eternal life.

More quotes by Amy Carmichael
Thank God, He doesn't measure out grace in teaspoons.
Amy Carmichael
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.
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
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
Nothing is worth doing at all, nothing is worth writing, which does not do something which will last.
Amy Carmichael
Those who think too much of themselves don't think enough.
Amy Carmichael
I would rather burn out than rust out.
Amy Carmichael
Missionary life is simply a chance to die.
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.'
Amy Carmichael

Amy Carmichael
Let us not be surprised when we have to face difficulties. When the wind blows hard on a tree, the roots stretch and grow the stronger, Let it be so with us. Let us not be weaklings, yielding to every wind that blows, but strong in spirit to resist.
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
From all that dims Thy Calvary, O Lamb of God, deliver me.
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
There have been times of late when I have had to hold on to one text with all my might: It is required in stewards that a man may be found faithful. Praise God, it does not say sucessful.
Amy Carmichael
If I am perturbed by the reproach and misunderstanding that may follow action taken for the good of souls for whom I must give account if I cannot commit the matter and go on in peace and in silence, remembering Gethsemane and the cross, then I know nothing of Calvary love.
Amy Carmichael
Thank God, He does not measure grace out in teaspoons.
Amy Carmichael
The night I sailed for China, March 3, 1893, my life, on the human side, was broken, and it never was mended again. But He has been enough.
Amy Carmichael
He said Love...as I have loved you. We cannot love too much.
Amy Carmichael
Let nothing be said about anyone unless it passes through the three sieves: Is it true? Is it kind? Is it necessary?
