Victories for Jesus
We have all eternity to celebrate the victories but only a few hours before sunset to win them. (Amy Carmichael)
Amy Carmichael lived as an Irish missionary in India for 55 years, rescuing young girls and later boys from temple prostitution and introducing them to Jesus.

Editor’s Note:
I have a second Amy Carmichael quote to share, a solid insight which impacted me strongly. Here it is.
Sometimes when we read the words of those who have been more than conquerors, we feel almost despondent. I feel that I shall never be like that. But they won through step by step, by little bits of wills, little denials of self, little inward victories, by faithfulness in very little things. They became what they are. No one sees these little hidden steps. They only see the accomplishment, but even so, those small steps were taken. There is no sudden triumph, no spiritual maturity. That is the work of the moment.
(Amy Carmichael)
