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
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
God Hold us to that which drew us first, when the Cross was the attraction, and we wanted nothing else.
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
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
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
Thank God, He doesn't measure out grace in teaspoons.
Amy Carmichael
Oh, will you pray? Stop now and pray, lest desire turn to feeling and feeling evaporate.
Amy Carmichael
Blessed are the single-hearted, for they shall enjoy much peace. If you refuse to be hurried and pressed, if you stay your soul on God, nothing can keep you from that clearness of spirit which is life and peace. In that stillness you will know what His will is.
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
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
If when I am able to discover something which has baffled others, I forget Him who revealeth the deep and secret things, and knoweth what is in the darkness and showeth it to us if I forget that it was He who granted that ray of light to His most unworthy servant, then I know nothing of Calvary love.
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.
Amy Carmichael
Missionary life is simply a chance to die.
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 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
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

The saddest thing one meets is a nominal Christian. I had not seen it in Japan where missions is younger. The church here is a “field full of wheat and tares.
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
We have all eternity to celebrate the victories but only a few hours before sunset to win them.
Amy Carmichael
If I fear to hold another to the highest goal because it is so much easier to avoid doing so, then I know nothing of Calvary love.
