Poem – Amy Carmichael ~ If a sudden jar

If

A sudden jar can cause me to speak
    an impatient, unloving word,
than I know nothing of Calvery love.

*For a cup brimful of sweet water cannot spill even one drop of bitter water, however suddenly jolted.

When I read these few words, I couldn’t help but fall under conviction. I should be so full of God’s love than at any moment I will be pouring over with it. It is not just Love, but the perfect, eternal, just, righteous, self sacrifice love of God.

S. T. 
Acts 20:24
"But, none of these things move me."
