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
I don't wonder apostolic miracles have died. Apostolic living certainly has.
Amy Carmichael
Nothing is worth doing at all, nothing is worth writing, which does not do something which will last.
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
Bare heights of loneliness...a wilderness whose burning winds sweep over glowing sands, what are they to HIM? Even there He can refresh us, even there He can renew us.
Amy Carmichael
But God is the God of the waves and the billows, and they are still His when they come over us and again and again we have proved that the overwhelming thing does not overwhelm. Once more by His interposition deliverance came. We were cast down, but not destroyed.
Amy Carmichael
Can we follow the Savior far, who have no wound or scar?
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 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
Give me the Love that leads the way The Faith that nothing can dismay The Hope no disappointments tire The Passion that'll burn like fire Let me not sink to be a clod Make me Thy fuel, Flame of God
Amy Carmichael
He hath never failed thee yet. Never will His love forget. O fret not thyself nor let Thy heart be troubled, Neither let it be afraid.
Amy Carmichael
O Love of God, do this for me: Maintain a constant victory.
Amy Carmichael
Thank God, He does not measure grace out in teaspoons.
Amy Carmichael
If monotony tries me, and I cannot stand drudgery if stupid people fret me and little ruffles set me on edge if I make much of the trifles of life, then I know nothing of Calvary love.
Amy Carmichael
The best training is to learn to accept everything as it comes, as from Him whom our soul loves. The tests are always unexpected things, not great things that can be written up, but the common little rubs of life, silly little nothings, things you are ashamed of minding one scrap
Amy Carmichael
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.
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
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
We have all eternity to celebrate the victories but only a few hours before sunset to win them.
Amy Carmichael
From all that dims Thy Calvary, O Lamb of God, deliver me.
Amy Carmichael
If I am afraid to speak the truth lest I lose affection, or lest the one concerned should say, You do not understand, or because I fear to lose my reputation for kindness if I put my own good name before the other's highest good, then I know nothing of Calvary love.
