Amy Carmichael's faith

"It is not difficult to see how this is for the best; it is impossible. But we are asked to walk not by sight but by faith, and only faith can allow us to let Iyer Walker go without bitterness."

wow. Iyer Walker is like a big brother to Amy. He taught Amy to speak Tamil and helped Amy in many ways to be a mother of one hundred Indian girls. His passing was a real shock because Amy will be left alone in the ministry...her other friend also passed away in the same week. Her girls tried to comfort her...yet they acknowledged that it was difficult to see all these are working for her best. The first line of this post was her answer.


One is to be pitied, if not stirred by such answer--
