In whatever God does in the course of our lives, he gives us, through the experience, some power to help others.
Elisabeth Elliot
Image
Our future may look fearfully intimidating, yet we can look up to the Engineer of the Universe, confident that nothing escapes His attention or slips out of the control of those strong hands.
Elisabeth Elliot
Image
Self-pity is... a sinkhole from which no rescuing hand can drag you because you have chosen to sink.

Elisabeth Elliot
Image
Lead me, Lord, to the Rock that is higher than I. Let me hear your word, give me grace to obey, to build steadily, stone upon stone, day by day, to do what You say. Establish my heart where floods have no power to overwhelm, for Christ's sake. Amen.

When obedience to God contradicts what I think will give me pleasure, let me ask myself if I love Him.
Elisabeth Elliot
Image

Elisabeth Elliot
Image
The world is full of noise. Might we not set ourselves to learn silence, stillness solitude?
Elisabeth Elliot

Restlessness and impatience change nothing except our peace and joy.
Elisabeth Elliot
Image
Where reasons are given, we don't need faith. Where only darkness surrounds us, we have no means for seeing except by faith.
Elisabeth Elliot
Image
The will of God is not something you add to your life. It’s a course you choose. You either line yourself up with the Son of God…or you capitulate to the principle which governs the rest of the world.
Elisabeth Elliot
Image
It would seem that unless we see through and beyond the physical, we shall not even see the physical as we ought to see it: as the very vehicle for the glory of God
Elisabeth Elliot
Image
If God gave it to me, we say it's mine. I can do what I want with it. No. The truth is that it is ours to thank Him for and ours to offer back to Him, ours to relinquish, ours to lose, ours to let go of - if we want to find our true selves, if we want real Life, if our hearts are set on glory.
