“As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you. Now remain in my love…” ~John 15:9
Sometimes we are too spent even to pray for this renewing life to flow within…[but] the most tired of us can remain, stay there, be there–no words can be too simple to explain what our Lord means by this: He says, simply, “Do not go away.”
…Even if we are completely silent, asking nothing, only letting our hearts rest in quietness in Him…He will cause the renewing sap to rise…
~Amy Carmichael, Rose from Brier
An excellent reminder
Sarah, I am listening to you giving your Cold War Novel presentation (on gtalk with Caleb Bohon) and thought that I liked your voice, so I came to your blog (via facebook) …..It was providential. This post was a most needed encouragement to my soul. I just reviewed John 15 today (singing it ad lib to the toddlers I was watching in the nursery) and was wondering how to abide in the midst of storms. I love Amy Carmichael. Thank you.
