If monotony tries me, and I cannot stand drudgery if stupid people fret me and little ruffles set me on edge if I make much of the trifles of life, then I know nothing of Calvary love.

More quotes by Amy Carmichael
If I put my own good name before the other's highest good, then I know nothing of Calvary's love
Amy Carmichael
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.
Amy Carmichael
One can't save and then pitchfork souls into heaven... Souls are more or less securely fastened to bodies... And as you can't get the souls out and deal with them separately, you have to take them both together.
Amy Carmichael
When I can see my face in it [the liquid gold in the crucible] then it is pure.
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
Can we accept the unexplained, the loss, The crushing agony, and hold us still. And nowhere is that clearer vision given Which pierces a bewildering providence, And opens windows upon highest heaven, But where we see Suffering Omnipotence.
Amy Carmichael
I wish thy way. And when in me myself should rise, and long for something otherwise, Then Lord, take sword and spear And slay.
Amy Carmichael
When I consider the cross of Christ, how can anything that I do be called sacrifice?
Amy Carmichael
I believe truly that Satan cannot endure it and so slips out of the room - more or less - when there is a true song.
Amy Carmichael
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.
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.
Amy Carmichael
A cup brimful of sweetness cannot spill even one drop of bitter water, no matter how suddenly jarred.
Amy Carmichael
If I slip into the place that can be filled by Christ alone, making myself the first necessity to a soul instead of leading it to fasten upon Him, then I know nothing of Calvary love.
Amy Carmichael
There is only one way of victory over the bitterness and rage that comes naturally to us--To will what God wills brings peace.
Amy Carmichael
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.
Amy Carmichael
Our loving Lord is not just present, but nearer than the thought can imagine - so near that a whisper can reach Him.
Amy Carmichael
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.
Amy Carmichael
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.
Amy Carmichael
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.
Amy Carmichael
Give me the Love that leads the way The Faith that nothing can dismay The Hope no disappointments tire The Passion that'll burn like fire Let me not sink to be a clod Make me Thy fuel, Flame of God
