Amy Carmichael Quotes
Give me the love that leads the way,
The faith that nothing can dismay,
The hope no disappointments tire,
The passion that will burn like fire,
Let me not sink to be a clod:
Make me Thy fuel, Flame of God.
Can we follow the savior far,
who have no wound or scar?
Pray that we may enter into that travail of soul with Him.
Nothing less is any good.
Spiritual children mean travail of soul -- spiritual agony.
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.
One can give without loving,
but one cannot love without giving.
Joy is not gush
Joy is not mere jolliness.
Joy is perfect acquiescence ~ acceptance, rest ~
in God's will, whatever comes.
Faith never wonders why.
Our feelings do not affect God's facts.
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."

TWO MORE QUOTES FROM AMY CARMICHAEL
The dearest idol I possess
Whate'er that idol be
Help me to tear it from Thy throne
And worship only Thee.
Amy Carmichael
To give and not to count the cost
To work and not to seek for rest
To labour and not to seek for any reward
Save know that I do Thy will.
Amy Carmichael
