More quotes by 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
We have ample evidence that the Lord is able to guide. The promises cover every imaginable situation. All we need to do is to take the hand he stretches out.
Elisabeth Elliot
In whatever God does in the course of our lives, he gives us, through the experience, some power to help others.
Elisabeth Elliot
Muddled thinking inevitably results in muddled living
Elisabeth Elliot
If God gave it to me, we say it's mine. I can do what I want with it. No. The truth is that it is ours to thank Him for and ours to offer back to Him, ours to relinquish, ours to lose, ours to let go of - if we want to find our true selves, if we want real Life, if our hearts are set on glory.
Elisabeth Elliot
The man whose eye is single for the glory of Another can be trusted.
Elisabeth Elliot
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
Work is a blessing. God has so arranged the world that work is necessary, and He gives us hands and strength to do it. The enjoyment of leisure would be nothing if we had only leisure. It is the joy of work well done that enables us to enjoy rest, just as it is the experiences of hunger and thirst that make food and drink such pleasures.
Elisabeth Elliot
Waiting on God requires the willingness to bear uncertainty, to carry within oneself the unanswered question, lifting the heart to God about it whenever it intrudes upon one's thoughts.
Elisabeth Elliot
Loneliness is a required course for leadership.
Elisabeth Elliot
It seems disrespectful to me to see ladies in church in very short skirts or skimpy, sleeveless tops. I would imagine that it could be distracting to men who are trying to keep their minds on God.
Elisabeth Elliot
He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose.
Elisabeth Elliot
There are those who insist that it is a very bad thing to question God. To them, “why?” is a rude question. That depends, I believe, on whether it is an honest search, in faith, for His meaning, or whether it is the challenge of unbelief and rebellion.
Elisabeth Elliot
You will never understand why God does what He does, but if you believe Him, that is all that is necessary. Let us learn to trust Him for who He is.
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
God will never disappoint us… If deep in our hearts we suspect that God does not love us and cannot manage our affairs as well as we can, we certainly will not submit to His discipline. …To the unbeliever the fact of suffering only convinces him that God is not to be trusted, does not love us. To the believer, the opposite is true.
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
God never witholds from His child that which His love and wisdom call good. God's refusals are always merciful -- severe mercies at times but mercies all the same. God never denies us our hearts desire except to give us something better.
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
Of one thing I am perfectly sure: God's story never ends with 'ashes.
Elisabeth Elliot
