“I trust you not to misunderstand Me”
It’s been awhile since I’ve posted anything from my old friend, Amy Carmichael. I hope you find encouragement here: Ps 37.31 None of his steps shall slide. Ps 18.36 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my ankles did not slip. Luke 21.16-18 You shall be betrayed . . . and some of you shall they …
Friday: from the archives
Something from Amy Carmichael: 1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and he who fears is not perfected in love. Let us take time today to consider the love of God. Some of us are tempted to fear about ourselves. …
Friday: from the archives
A bit of a balm for those who are fearful: Jer 39.17: But I will deliver you on that day, says the Lord, and you shall not be given into the hand of the men of whom you are afraid. What is the thing you most fear and most earnestly pray about, the thing that …
What can man do to me?
Ps 118.6: The Lord is on my side; I will not fear; what can man do to me? Job 34.29: When He gives quietness, who then can make trouble? The Lord is for me (margin). What can man do to me? Nothing. Nothing that really matters. Nothing that can do any harm. Nothing that will not be …

A good story
Yesterday, I had one of those days that did not go according to “my” plans. It did make for a good story later, but at the moment I found myself quite frustrated and irritated that I had to drop everything for someone else and that I didn’t get to eat lunch until mid-afternoon. I had …
Let not your heart be troubled
Is your heart troubled by some way that you have failed the Lord? Amy Carmichael shows us the truth about how the Lord looks upon our failings: John 13.38: Jesus answered him, . . . The cock shall not crow until you have denied Me three times. John 14.1: Let not your heart be troubled. “After …
Interruptions
Reblogged from Witnesses to Hope: A day or two ago one who was with me prayed like this, “Lord, help me to welcome interruptions, especially when the interruption seems less important than the work I am trying to do.” That prayer has often been mine. I expect many of you have felt the need of …
As for God, His way is perfect
Reblogged from Witnesses to Hope: Some thoughts from Amy Carmichael that have inspired me time and again: Ps 18.30: As for God, His way is perfect. God is love, so we may change the word and say, As for Love, His way is perfect. This has been helping me. One of the ways of …
