Image
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
Image

Amy Carmichael
Image
When I can see my face in it [the liquid gold in the crucible] then it is pure.
Amy Carmichael
Image
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
Image
God Hold us to that which drew us first, when the Cross was the attraction, and we wanted nothing else.
Amy Carmichael
Image
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.

Satan is so much more in earnest than we are--he buys up the opportunity while we are wondering how much it will cost.
Amy Carmichael
Image
It is not the place where we are, or the work that we do or cannot do that matters, it is something else. It is the fire within that burns and shines, whatever be our circumstances.
