Amy Carmichael quotes about
names calvary ifs
If I put my own good name before the other's highest good, then I know nothing of Calvary's love
goal calvary easier
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.
kindness names reputation
If I am afraid to speak the truth lest I lose affection, or lest the one concerned should say, "You do not understand", or because I fear to lose my reputation for kindness; if I put my own good name before the other's highest good, then I know nothing of Calvary love.
stupid people trying
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.
soul firsts christ
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.
thinking too-much enough
Those who think too much of themselves don't think enough.
firsts crosses wanted
God Hold us to that which drew us first, when the Cross was the attraction, and we wanted nothing else.
rain fall sea
If I cannot hear "The sound of rain' long before the rain falls, and then go out to some hilltop of the Spirit, as near to my God as I can and have faith to wait there with my face between my knees, though six times or sixty times I am told "There is nothing', till at last there arises a little cloud out of the sea, then I know nothing of Calvary love.
soul suffering spirit
If souls can suffer alongside, and I hardly know it, because the spirit of discernment is not in me, then I know nothing of Calvary love....
christian heart light
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?
spiritual men secret
What is the secret to great living? Entire separation to Christ and devotion to Him. Thus speaks every man and woman whose life has made more than a passing flicker in the spiritual realm. It is the life that has no time for trifling that counts.
water matter cups
A cup brimful of sweetness cannot spill even one drop of bitter water, no matter how suddenly jarred.
forgiveness memories mind
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.
way calvary conversation
If I can enjoy a joke at the expense of another; if I can in any way slight another in conversation, or even in thought, then I know nothing of Calvary love.
