More quotes by Elisabeth Elliot
There is something that pretends to be christianity which is mostly mood. The measure of its faith is merely the measure of its feeling.
Elisabeth Elliot
Praise and glory to God for whom nothing is too hard
Elisabeth Elliot
The will of God is never exactly what you expect it to be. It may seem to be much worse, but in the end it's going to be a lot better and a lot bigger.
Elisabeth Elliot
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.
Elisabeth Elliot
Things which sound like platitudes become vital, living and powerful when you have to learn them in the bottom of the barrel, in dark tunnels.
Elisabeth Elliot
I believe a woman, in order to be a good wife, must be (among other things) both sensual and maternal.
Elisabeth Elliot
Stand true to your calling to be a man. Real women will always be relieved and grateful when men are willing to be men
Elisabeth Elliot
There is no need for faith where there is no consciousness of an element of risk.
Elisabeth Elliot
The process of shaping the child, shapes also the mother herself. Reverence for her sacred burden calls her to all that is pure and good, that she may teach primarily by her own humble, daily example.
Elisabeth Elliot
Loneliness is a required course for leadership.
Elisabeth Elliot
Accept your loneliness. It is one stage, and only one stage, on a journey that brings you to God. It will not always last. Offer up your loneliness to God, as the little boy offered to Jesus his five loaves and two fishes. God can transform it for the good of others. Above all, do something for somebody else!
Elisabeth Elliot
Choices will continually be necessary and -- let us not forget -- possible. Obedience to God is always possible. It is a deadly error to fall into the notion that when feelings are extremely strong we can do nothing but act on them.
Elisabeth Elliot
Everything if given to God can become your gateway to joy.
Elisabeth Elliot
We have ample evidence that the Lord is able to guide. The promises cover every imaginable situation. All we need to do is to take the hand he stretches out.
Elisabeth Elliot
We cannot give our hearts to God and keep our bodies for ourselves
Elisabeth Elliot
What I ought to do and what I feel like doing are seldom the same thing.
Elisabeth Elliot
Our vision is so limited we can hardly imagine a love that does not show itself in protection from suffering. The love of God is of a different nature altogether. It does not hate tragedy. It never denies reality. It stands in the very teeth of suffering.
Elisabeth Elliot
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
Faith receives, day by day, what a loving Heavenly Father apportions.
Elisabeth Elliot
The deepest lessons come out of the deepest waters and the hottest fires.
Elisabeth Elliot
