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.

More quotes by Amy Carmichael
The mere telling of how a need was met is often like telling of a need, which is asking crookedly instead of straight out. But this much I will say--with every fresh need has come a fresh supply.
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
If Thy dear home be fuller, Lord, For that a little emptier. My house on earth, what rich rewards. That guerdon were.
Amy Carmichael
We have all eternity to celebrate the victories but only a few hours before sunset to win them.
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 you are ever inclined to pray for a missionary, do it at once, where ever you are. Perhaps he may be in great peril at that moment.
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
One must as willingly be nothing, as something.
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
If I say, Yes, I forgive, but I cannot forgive, as though the God, who twice a day washes all the sands on all the shores of all the world, could not wash such memories from my mind, then I know nothing of Calvary love.
Amy Carmichael
I don't wonder apostolic miracles have died. Apostolic living certainly has.
Amy Carmichael
It is a solemn thing to find oneself drawn out in prayer which knows no relief till the soul it is burdened with is born. It is no less solemn afterwards, until Christ is formed in them.
Amy Carmichael
If I can enjoy a joke at the expense of another if I can in any way slight another in conversation, or even in thought, then I know nothing of Calvary love.
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
Even though we must walk in the land of fear, there is no need to fear. The power of His resurrection comes before the fellowship of His sufferings.
Amy Carmichael
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.
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
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
If you would live in victory . . . you must refuse to be dominated by the seen and the felt.

God, harden me against myself!
