Amy Carmichael
There is always something to be happy about if we look for it: ‘Two men looked through prison bars, The one saw mud, the other stars.'
Amy Carmichael
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
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
If you would live in victory . . . you must refuse to be dominated by the seen and the felt.

Amy Carmichael
Blessed are the single-hearted, for they shall enjoy much peace. If you refuse to be hurried and pressed, if you stay your soul on God, nothing can keep you from that clearness of spirit which is life and peace. In that stillness you will know what His will is.
Amy Carmichael
The saddest thing one meets is a nominal Christian. I had not seen it in Japan where missions is younger. The church here is a “field full of wheat and tares.
Amy Carmichael
If I am inconsiderate about the comfort of others, or their feelings, or even of their little weaknesses if I am careless about their little hurts and miss opportunities to smooth their way if I make the sweet running of household wheels more difficult to accomplish, then I know nothing of Calvary love.
Amy Carmichael
If my attitude be on of fear, not faith, about the one who has disappointed me if I say “Just what I expected,” if a fall occurs, then I know nothing of Calvary Love.
Amy Carmichael
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.
Amy Carmichael
When an answer I did not expect comes to a prayer which I believed I truly meant, I shrink back from it if the burden my Lord asks me to bear be not the burden of my heart's choice, and I fret inwardly and do not welcome His will, then I know nothing of Calvary love.
