Quote

Christ is sufficient. We do not need support groups for each and every separate tribulation. The most widely divergent sorrows may all be taken to the foot of the same old rugged cross and find there cleansing, peace, and joy.

More quotes by Elisabeth Elliot

Image
Sometimes we want things we were not meant to have. Because he loves us, the Father says no. Faith trusts that no. Faith is willing not to have what God is not willing to give. Furthermore, faith does not insist upon an explanation. It is enough to know His promises to give what is good-he knows so much more about us than we do.
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
It is in our acceptance of what is given that God gives Himself.
Elisabeth Elliot
Image

Jesus loved the will of His Father. He embraced the limitations, the necessities, the conditions, the very chains of His humanity as He walked and worked here on earth, fulfilling moment by moment His divine commission and the stern demands of His incarnation. Never was there a word or even a look of complaint.

We fundamentalists are a pack of mood-loving showoffs. I'm sure the Minor Prophets would have found subject for correction.
Elisabeth Elliot
Image
Faith's most severe tests come not when we see nothing, but when we see a stunning array of evidence that seems to prove our faith vain.

A man will be as much of a gentleman as a woman requires.
Elisabeth Elliot
Image
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
Image
Restlessness and impatience change nothing except our peace and joy. Peace does not dwell in outward things, but in the heart prepared to wait trustfully and quietly on Him who has all things safely in His hands.
Elisabeth Elliot
Image
God has promised to supply all our needs. What we don't have now, we don't need now.

Teach me to treat all that comes to me with peace of soul and with firm conviction that Your will governs all.

A quiet heart is content with what God gives. It is enough. All is grace.

In order to learn what it means to be a woman we must start with the One who made her.

Praise and glory to God for whom nothing is too hard

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.
