Amy Carmichael (Fear)

“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.”

Amy Carmichael (Missionary, 1867 – 1951)

Amy Carmichael (The Soul)

“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.”

Amy Carmichael (Missionary, 1867 – 1951)

Amy Carmichael (Miracles)

“We profess to be strangers and pilgrims, seeking after a country of our own, yet we settle down in the most un-stranger-like fashion, exactly as if we were quite at home and meant to stay as long as we could. I don’t wonder apostolic miracles have died. Apostolic living certainly has.”

Amy Carmichael (Missionary, 1867 – 1951)

Amy Carmichael (Comfort)

“The word comfort is from two Latin words meaning “with” and “strong” – He is with us to make us strong. Comfort is not soft, weakening commiseration; it is true, strengthening love.”

Amy Carmichael (Missionary, 1867 – 1951)

Amy Carmichael (The Bible)

“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)

Amy Carmichael (Stewards)

“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.”

Amy Carmichael (Missionary, 1867 – 1951)
