The Emphasis of Sanctity

"To be like Christ. To displace self from the inner throne, and to throne Him; to make not the slightest compromise with the smallest sin. We aim at nothing less than to walk with God all day long, to abide every hour in Christ and He and His words in us, to love God with all the heart and our neighbor as ourselves...It is possible to cast every care on Him daily, and to be at peace amidst pressure, to see the will of God in everything, to put away all bitterness and clamor and evil speaking, daily and hourly. It is possible, by unreserved resort, to divine power under divine conditions to become strongest through and through at our weakest point."

~The "creed" of the Keswick Convention, where
Amy Carmichael was first called to foreign missions
