“We have all eternity to celebrate the victories but only a few hours before sunset to win them.”

Amy Carmichael (Missionary, 1867 – 1951)

“Let nothing be said about anyone unless it passes through the three sieves: Is it true? Is it kind? Is it necessary?”

Amy Carmichael (Missionary, 1867 – 1951)

“If you have never been hurt by a word from God, it is probably that you have never heard God speak.”

Amy Carmichael (Missionary, 1867 – 1951)

“Let us not be surprised when we have to face difficulties. When the wind blows hard on a tree, the roots stretch and grow the stronger, Let it be so with us. Let us not be weaklings, yielding to every wind that blows, but strong in spirit to resist.”

Amy Carmichael (Missionary, 1867 – 1951)

“When the day of recompense comes, our only regret will be that we have done so little for Him, not that we have done too much.”

George Mueller (Evangelist, 1805 – 1898)

“A brother with small earnings may ask,”Should I also give? My earning are already so small that my family can barely make ends meet.” My reply is, ”Have you ever considered that the very reason your earnings remain so small may be because you spend everything on yourself? If God gave you more, you would only use it to increase your own comfort instead of looking to see who is sick or who has no work at all that you might help them.”

George Mueller (Evangelist, 1805 – 1898)

“If honest of heart and uprightness before God were lacking or if I did not patiently wait on God for instruction, or if I preferred the counsel of my fellow-men to the declarations of the Word of God, I made great mistakes.”

George Mueller (Evangelist, 1805 – 1898)

“It often astonishes me that I did not see the importance of meditation upon Scripture earlier in my Christian life. As the outward man is not fit for work for any length of time unless he eats, so it is with the inner man. What is the food for the inner man? Not prayer, but the Word of God -not the simple reading of the Word of God, so that it only passes through our minds, just as water runs through a pipe. No, we must consider what we read, ponder over it, and apply it to our hearts.”

George Mueller (Evangelist, 1805 – 1898)

“It is true that the faith, which I am enabled to exercise, is altogether God’s own gift; it is true that He alone supports it, and that He alone can increase it; it is true that, moment by moment, I depend upon Him for it, and that, if I were only one moment left to myself, my faith would utterly fail…”

George Mueller (Evangelist, 1805 – 1898)

“If we say we trust in Him, but in reality do not, then God, taking us at our word, lets us see that we do not really confide in Him, and hence failure arises.”

George Mueller (Evangelist, 1805 – 1898)
