Inspiring Quotes
The following are some quotes from the book I am reading about Amy Carmichael that have spoken to me. I hope you will find them encouraging or enlightening as well.
"These children are dear to Me. Be a mother to them, and more than a mother. Watch over them tenderly, be just and kind. If thy heart is not large enough to embrace them, I will enlarge it after a pattern of My own. If these young children are docile and obedient, bless Me for it; if they are froward, call upon Me for help; if they weary thee, I will be thy consolation; if thou sink under thy burden, I will be thy reward."
"We are not asked to SEE. Why need we when we KNOW? We know - not the answer to the inevitable Why, but the incontestable fact that it is for the best. It is an irreparable loss, but is it faith at all if it is 'hard to trust' when things are entirely bewildering?"
"A little thing is a little thing, but faithfulness in little things is a very great thing."
Shannon
