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.

More quotes by Amy Carmichael
Have you given your child unreservedly to the Lord for whatever He will? ...O may He strengthen you to say YES to Him if He asks something which costs.
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 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
If I do not give a friend The benefit of the doubt, but put the worst construction instead of the best on what is said or done, then I know nothing of Calvary love.
Amy Carmichael
There are many rooms in the House of Pain.
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
Now you are deep in what seems to me a peculiarly selfless service. The spiritual training of children must be that. You work for the years you will not see. You work for the Invisible all the time, but you work for the Eternal. So it is all worthwhile.
Amy Carmichael
Love knows how to do without what it naturally wants. Love knows how to say, 'What does it matter.'
Amy Carmichael
Nothing is worth doing at all, nothing is worth writing, which does not do something which will last.
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
The only expenditure, and all its outworkings, for which God can be held to be responsible is that which He directs.
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 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 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
All along, let us remember we are not asked to understand, but simply to obey.
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
Do not fight the thing in detail: turn from it. Look ONLY at your Lord. Sing. Read. Work.
Amy Carmichael
Thank God, He doesn't measure out grace in teaspoons.
Amy Carmichael
If the praise of others elates me and their blame depresses me if I cannot rest under misunderstandin g without defending myself if I love to be loved more than to love, to be served more than to serve, then I know nothing of Calvary love.
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.
