More quotes by Elisabeth Elliot
Experience had quickly taught her that she could not survive the storms without the anchor of the constraining love of Christ and what she called the Rock-counsciousness of the promise given her, He goeth before.
Elisabeth Elliot
When obedience to God contradicts what I think will give me pleasure, let me ask myself if I love Him.
Elisabeth Elliot
The question is simply,'Who is your master?'Once that's settled, you ask whether any word have been spoken. If it has, you have your orders.
Elisabeth Elliot
We want to avoid suffering, death, sin, ashes. But we live in a world crushed and broken and torn, a world God Himself visited to redeem. We receive his poured-out life, and being allowed the high privilege of suffering with Him, may then pour ourselves out for others.
Elisabeth Elliot
If you take being a father seriously, you'll know that you're not big enough for the job, not by yourself...Being a father will put you on your knees if nothing else ever did.
Elisabeth Elliot
We fundamentalists are a pack of mood-loving showoffs. I'm sure the Minor Prophets would have found subject for correction.
Elisabeth Elliot
I asked Him to give me the prayers He wants me to pray and to give or withhold anything according to his plan for me. Nothing is too big to ask of Him, not even an ocean lot. It is God's business to decide if it is good for me. It is my business to obey Him.
Elisabeth Elliot
God never witholds from His child that which His love and wisdom call good. God's refusals are always merciful -- severe mercies at times but mercies all the same. God never denies us our hearts desire except to give us something better.
Elisabeth Elliot
Faith has to be exercised in the midst of ordinary, down-to-earth living.
Elisabeth Elliot
One does not surrender a life in an instant. That which is lifelong can only be surrendered in a lifetime.
Elisabeth Elliot
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
When ours are interrupted, his are not. His plans are proceeding exactly as scheduled, moving us always (including those minutes or hours or years which seem most useless or wasted or unendurable).
Elisabeth Elliot
My most earnest of all pleas to singles is abandonment of the self, surrender to Christ of all unfulfilled longings, an unequivocal willingness to receive whatever God assigns, and a determination to practice the sacrificial principle of Isaiah 58:10-11. Life becomes not only far simpler, but surprisingly joyful and free.
Elisabeth Elliot
I believe with all my heart God's Story has a happy ending. . . But not yet, not necessarily yet. It takes faith to hold on to that in the face of the great burden of experience, which seems to prove otherwise.
Elisabeth Elliot
Maturity starts with the willingness to give oneself.
Elisabeth Elliot
Here lies the tremendous mystery - that God should be all-powerful, yet refuse to coerce. He summons us to cooperation. We are honored in being given the opportunity to participate in his good deeds. Remember how He asked for help in performing his miracles: Fill the water pots, stretch out your hand, distribute the loaves.
Elisabeth Elliot
It is God to whom and with whom we travel, and while He is the end of our journey, He is also at every stopping place.
Elisabeth Elliot
I'm convinced that there is nothing that can happen to me in this life that is not precisely designed by a sovereign Lord to give me the opportunity to learn to know Him.
Elisabeth Elliot
No one whose first concern is feeling good can be a disciple. We are called to carry a cross and to glorify God.
Elisabeth Elliot
Where does your security lie? Is God your refuge, your hiding place, your stronghold, your shepherd, your counselor, your friend, your redeemer, your saviour, your guide? If He is, you don't need to search any further for security.
Elisabeth Elliot
