“It doesn't matter much what happens to us. The one thing that matters is how we meet what happens. Limitations, frustrations-they can't cast the smallest handful of dust on the glory of God. So let us be of good courage. He is leading us through and on, and as for God, His way is perfect.”
― Amy Carmichael, Candles in the Dark

“Which is harder, to do or to endure? I think to endure is much the harder, and our Father loves us too much to let us pass through life without learning to endure. So I want you to welcome the little difficult things, the tiny prick and ruffles that are sure to come almost every day. They give you a chance to say 'No' to yourself and by doing so you will become strong not only to do but also to endure.”

“Speaking beautifully is little to the purpose unless one lives beautifully.”
― Elizabeth Payson Prentiss, Stepping Heavenward

“You will find that nothing is too small for His regard. He will say things to you that you could not repeat-they would sound too small, too intimate-but they will be the joy and rejoicing of your heart.”
― Amy Carmichael, Candles in the Dark
