When obedience to God contradicts what I think will give me pleasure, let me ask myself if I love Him.
Elisabeth Elliot
Image
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
Image
The life of faith is lived one day at a time, and it has to be lived - not always looked forward to as though the real living were around the next corner. It is today for which we are responsible. God still owns tomorrow.
Elisabeth Elliot
Image
There is no need for faith where there is no consciousness of an element of risk.
Elisabeth Elliot

The world is full of noise. Might we not set ourselves to learn silence, stillness solitude?
Elisabeth Elliot
Image
I believe with all my heart God's Story has a happy ending. . . But not yet, not necessarily yet. It takes faith to hold on to that in the face of the great burden of experience, which seems to prove otherwise.
Elisabeth Elliot
Image
Everything if given to God can become your gateway to joy.
Elisabeth Elliot
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
The man whose eye is single for the glory of Another can be trusted.
Elisabeth Elliot
Image
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.
