More quotes by Amy Carmichael

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
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.
Amy Carmichael
Oh, will you pray? Stop now and pray, lest desire turn to feeling and feeling evaporate.
Amy Carmichael
Thank God, He doesn't measure out grace in teaspoons.
Amy Carmichael

Amy Carmichael
