More quotes by 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

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
The deepest lessons come out of the deepest waters and the hottest fires.
Elisabeth Elliot
I have one desire now - to live a life of reckless abandon for the Lord, putting all my energy and strength into it.
Elisabeth Elliot
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
Think of this- we may live together with Him here and now, a daily walking with Him who loved us and gave Himself for us.
Elisabeth Elliot
God is God. Because he is God, He is worthy of my trust and obedience. I will find rest nowhere but in His holy will that is unspeakably beyond my largest notions of what he is up to.
Elisabeth Elliot
The God who created, names, and numbers the stars in the heavens also numbers the hairs of my head..He pays attention to very big things and to very small ones. What matters to me matters to Him, and that changes my life.
Elisabeth Elliot
The only basis of peace is the cessation of the conflict of two wills: my will vs God’s.
Elisabeth Elliot
The world cries for men who are strong strong in conviction, strong to lead, to stand, to suffer.
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
