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.

Those who think too much of themselves don't think enough.
Amy Carmichael

A cup brimful of sweetness cannot spill even one drop of bitter water, no matter how suddenly jarred.
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
Thank God, He doesn't measure out grace in teaspoons.
Amy Carmichael
Image
We have all eternity to celebrate the victories but only a few hours before sunset to win them.
Amy Carmichael
Image
Love accepts the trying things of life without asking for explanations. It trusts and is at rest.
Amy Carmichael
Image
Missionary life is simply a chance to die.
Amy Carmichael
Image
continually we look at things about us without seeing more than a very little of what is there.

If I take offence easily if I am content to continue in cold unfriendliness, though friendship be possible, then I know nothing of Calvary love.
