I wish thy way. And when in me myself should rise, and long for something otherwise, Then Lord, take sword and spear And slay.
Amy CarmichaelThere may be love, understanding love, all around us, and yet we may be needing some word of life in our own soul, something that would do what only the Divine can do. โLord, to whom shall we go? Thou hast the words of eternal life.
Amy CarmichaelLove knows how to do without what it naturally wants. Love knows how to say, 'What does it matter.'
Amy CarmichaelWhen an answer I did not expect comes to a prayer which I believed I truly meant, I shrink back from it; if the burden my Lord asks me to bear be not the burden of my heart's choice, and I fret inwardly and do not welcome His will, then I know nothing of Calvary love.
