I believe truly that Satan cannot endure it and so slips out of the room - more or less - when there is a true song.

There may be love, understanding love, all around us, and yet we may be needing some word of life in our own soul, something that would do what only the Divine can do. “Lord, to whom shall we go? Thou hast the words of eternal life.

God Hold us to that which drew us first, when the Cross was the attraction, and we wanted nothing else.

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

Image
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.

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

Our enemy is more aware than we are of the spiritual possibilities that depend upon obedience.
Amy Carmichael
Image
Ours should be the love that asks not 'how little?' but, 'how much?' The love that delights to pour out everything upon the feet of our Beloved.

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.

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.

Image
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.

The only expenditure, and all its outworkings, for which God can be held to be responsible is that which He directs.
Amy Carmichael
Image
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
Image
If I myself dominate myself, if my thoughts revolve round myself, if I am so occupied with myself I rarely have a heart at leisure from itself, then I know nothing of Calvary love.

Prayer is the core of the day. Take prayer out, and the day would collapse.
