More quotes by Elisabeth Elliot
Praise and glory to God for whom nothing is too hard
Elisabeth Elliot
For one who has made thanksgiving the habit of his life, the morning prayer will be, 'Lord, what will you give me today to offer back to you?'
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
A man will be as much of a gentleman as a woman requires.
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
In order to learn what it means to be a woman we must start with the One who made her.
Elisabeth Elliot
Have we the humility to thank our Father for the gift of pain?
Elisabeth Elliot
If you believe in a God who controls the big things, you have to believe in a God who controls the little things. It is we, of course, to whom things look 'little' or 'big'.
Elisabeth Elliot
Everything if given to God can become your gateway to joy.
Elisabeth Elliot
Among the most joyful people I have known have been some who seem to have had no human reason for joy. The sweet fragrance of Christ has shown through their lives.
Elisabeth Elliot
Choices will continually be necessary and -- let us not forget -- possible. Obedience to God is always possible. It is a deadly error to fall into the notion that when feelings are extremely strong we can do nothing but act on them.
Elisabeth Elliot
Restlessness and impatience change nothing except our peace and joy.
Elisabeth Elliot
Faith receives, day by day, what a loving Heavenly Father apportions.
Elisabeth Elliot
One does not surrender a life in an instant. That which is lifelong can only be surrendered in a lifetime.
Elisabeth Elliot
Blessings taken for granted are often forgotten.
Elisabeth Elliot
Where reasons are given, we don't need faith. Where only darkness surrounds us, we have no means for seeing except by faith.
Elisabeth Elliot
The one who loves knows better than anyone else how to conduct himself, how to serve the one he loves. Love prescribes an answer in a given situation as no mere rule can do.
Elisabeth Elliot
We never know what God has up His sleeve. You never know what might happen you only know what you have to do now.
Elisabeth Elliot
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
Self-pity is... a sinkhole from which no rescuing hand can drag you because you have chosen to sink.
Elisabeth Elliot
