selections fromIf by Amy CarmichaelIFI cannot catch "the sound of noise of rain" long before the rainfalls,and,going to some hilltop of thespirit,as near to my God as I can.have not faith to wait there withmy face between my knees.though six times or sixty timesi am told "there is nothing."till at last "there arises a littlecloud out of the sea."then I know nothing of Calvary Love.1Kings 18:41Ifthe moment I am conscious of theshadow of self crossing mythreshold.I do not shut the door,and in the power of Him whoworks in us to will and to do,keep that door shut,then I know nothing of calvary love,Ifsouls can suffer alongside,and Ihardly know it,because the spirit of discernment is not in me,then I know nothing of Calvary love.IFthe love that "alone maketh light ofevery heavy thing, and bearethevenly every uneven thing"is not my heart's desirethen I know nothing of Calvary love.
