Default "If"

If
by Amy Carmichael

"If I covet any place on earth but the dust at the foot of the Cross, then I know nothing of Calvary Love."

"If a sudden jar can cause me to speak an impatient, unloving word, then I know nothing of Calvary Love."

"If I can write an unkind letter, speak an unkind word, think an unkind thought without grief and shame, then I know nothing of Calvary love."

"If the praise of man elates me and his blame depresses me;
if I cannot rest under misunderstanding without defending myself;
if I love to be loved more than to love,
to be served more than to serve,
then I know nothing of Calvary love."
