“Even though we must walk in the land of fear, there is no need to fear. The power of His resurrection comes before the fellowship of His sufferings.”

“If you are ever inclined to pray for a missionary, do it at once, where ever you are. Perhaps he may be in great peril at that moment.”
Amy Carmichael (Missionary, 1867 – 1951)
“It is a solemn thing to find oneself drawn out in prayer which knows no relief till the soul it is burdened with is born. It is no less solemn afterwards, until Christ is formed in them.”

“In case any are puzzled by the different translations from which I draw strength and help and delight, it is like this: In studying any object with the microscope we use different lenses and turn the mirror in various ways; each change brings out some new wonder and beauty. So it is for those who are not Greek or Hebrew scholars, and who use the work of scholars to open the meaning of the exhaustible Word – the Bible is richer than any single version can fully show.”
Amy Carmichael (Missionary, 1867 – 1951)
“Satan is so much more in earnest than we are – he buys up the opportunity while we are wondering how much it will cost.”
Amy Carmichael (Missionary, 1867 – 1951)
“It is a safe thing to trust Him to fulfill the desires which He creates.”
Amy Carmichael (Missionary, 1867 – 1951)
“There have been times of late when I have had to hold on to one text with all my might: “It is required in stewards that a man may be found faithful.” Praise God, it does not say successful.”
