Excerpt from "Candles in the dark"

[plainrose]

To serve as a reminder to me...and perhaps to encourage someone else who may read this.
It's been going through my head all day....Amy C's writings have that gift of being so rich and imparting so much.....such fruit from a truly yielded life.

" Deep in me, Lord, mark Thou Thy holy cross,
On motives, choices, private dear desires;
Let all that self in any form inspires
Be unto me as dross.

And when Thy touch of death is here and there
Laid on a thing most precious in my eyes,
Let me not wonder, let me recognize
The answer to my prayer. "

~ Amy Carmichael
