Quote pasted in the the front cover of Amy Carmichael's (missionary to India) Bible about the children of the orphanage in her care:
"These children are dear to Me. Be a mother to them, and more than a mother. Watch over them tenderly, be just and kind. If the heart is not large enough to embrace them, I will enlarge it after a pattern of My own. If these young children are docile and obedient, bless Me for it; if they are froward, call upon Me for help; if they weary thee, I will be thy consolation; if thou sink under thy burden, I will be thy Reward."
-- From "A Chance to Die - The Life and Legacy of Amy Carmichael" by Elisabeth Elliot
