Elisabeth Elliot
Jesus loved the will of His Father.

Never was there a word or even a look of complaint.
Elisabeth Elliot

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
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

Elisabeth Elliot
What I ought to do and what I feel like doing are seldom the same thing.
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
