[Amy Carmichael's] great longing was to have a "single eye" for the glory of God. Whatever might blur the vision God had give her of His work, whatever could distract or deceive or tempt other to seek anything but the Lord Jesus Himself she tried to eliminate.

The world is full of noise. Might we not set ourselves to learn silence, stillness solitude?

Everything if given to God can become your gateway to joy.

If it were not for uncertainties, we would have no need to walk by faith.

The man whose eye is single for the glory of Another can be trusted.

Action that is clearly right needs no justification.

This job has been given to me to do. Therefore, it is a gift. Therefore, it is a privilege. Therefore, it is an offering I may make to God. Therefore, it is to be done gladly, if it is done for Him. Here, not somewhere else, I may learn God’s way. In this job, not in some other, God looks for faithfulness.
