If we do anything to further the kingdom of God, we may expect to find what Christ found on that road abuse, indifference, injustice, misunderstanding, trouble of some kind. Take it. Why not? To that you were called.

More quotes by Elisabeth Elliot
Freedom begins way back. It begins not with doing what you want but with doing what you ought - that is, with discipline.
Elisabeth Elliot
God's command 'Go ye, and preach the gospel to every creature' was the categorical imperative. The question of personal safety was wholly irrelevant.
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
I am convinced that the human heart hungers for constancy. In forfeiting the sanctity of sex by casual, nondiscriminato ry making out and sleeping around, we forfeit something we cannot well do without. There is dullness, monotony, sheer boredom in all of life when virginity and purity are no longer protected and prized.
Elisabeth Elliot
One way to begin to see how vastly indulgent we usually are is to fast. It is a long day that is not broken by the usual three meals. One finds out what an astonishing amount of time is spent in the planning, purchasing, preparing, eating, and cleaning up of meals.
Elisabeth Elliot
To love God is to love His will. It is to wait quietly for life to be measured by One who knows us through and through. It is to be content with His timing and His wise appointment.
Elisabeth Elliot
Remind me that not everything needs to be said, and that there are very few things that need to be said by me.
Elisabeth Elliot
The deepest lessons come out of the deepest waters and the hottest fires.
Elisabeth Elliot
I believe a woman, in order to be a good wife, must be (among other things) both sensual and maternal.
Elisabeth Elliot
A grandmother's special calling is to pray and to be a fellow worker in the battle in which her children or her grandchildren are engaged.
Elisabeth Elliot
Restlessness and impatience change nothing except our peace and joy.
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
The cross means suffering. Suffering's meaning is to be learned through the cross.
Elisabeth Elliot
Maturity starts with the willingness to give oneself.
Elisabeth Elliot
God has promised to supply all our needs. What we don't have now, we don't need now.
Elisabeth Elliot
What I ought to do and what I feel like doing are seldom the same thing.
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
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
Have we the humility to thank our Father for the gift of pain?
Elisabeth Elliot
The world is full of noise. Might we not set ourselves to learn silence, stillness solitude?
Elisabeth Elliot
