but you cannot love without giving. Amy Carmichael
Been thinking (and talking) about this.
There is always need.
Not just over there...
right here.
The thing is, once you see it
you can't get it out of your head
and just have to tell as many possible
in case they didn't know
and might be able to...love.
Remember Amy Carmichael?She is a favorite in our house.
Little girls would giggle as we read that she was so bothered that her eyes were not blue. Turned out that God knew brown eyes were a better look in India. She formed the Dohnavur Fellowship with the purpose of rescuing children (little girls) from the corruption of temple service. Did you know that she influenced many to missionary service, including Jim and Elizabeth Elliot?Cool. I read that fact in Chapter 4 No Scar? in Great for God by David Shibley.
Some trivia fun...
