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.

Image
I wish thy way. And when in me myself should rise, and long for something otherwise, Then Lord, take sword and spear And slay.

The saddest thing one meets is a nominal Christian.
Amy Carmichael
Image
If I belittle those whom I am called to serve, talk of their weak points in contrast perhaps with what I think of as my strong points if I adopt a superior attitude, forgetting Who made thee to differ? and what hast thou that thou hast not received? then I know nothing of Calvary love.

Image
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.

What is the secret to great living? Entire separation to Christ and devotion to Him. Thus speaks every man and woman whose life has made more than a passing flicker in the spiritual realm. It is the life that has no time for trifling that counts.

He said Love...as I have loved you. We cannot love too much.

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.

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

Thank God, He does not measure grace out in teaspoons.

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.

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
Image
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.

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.

There is nothing dreary or doubtful about (the life). It is meant to be continually joyful...We are called to a settled happiness in the Lord whose joy is our strength.

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.

If you would live in victory . . . you must refuse to be dominated by the seen and the felt.

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.

There is only one way of victory over the bitterness and rage that comes naturally to us--To will what God wills brings peace.

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.
