More quotes by Elisabeth Elliot
We are not meant to die merely in order to be dead. God could not want that for the creatures to whom He has given the breath of life. We die in order to live.
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
The world cries for men who are strong strong in conviction, strong to lead, to stand, to suffer.
Elisabeth Elliot
If you take being a father seriously, you'll know that you're not big enough for the job, not by yourself...Being a father will put you on your knees if nothing else ever did.
Elisabeth Elliot
Sometimes life is so hard you can only do the next thing.Whatever that is just do the next thing.God will meet you there.
Elisabeth Elliot
Maturity starts with the willingness to give oneself.
Elisabeth Elliot
George Macdonald said, 'If you knew what God knows about death you would clap your listless hands', but instead I find old people in North America just buying this whole youth obsession. I think growing older is a wonderful privilege. I want to learn to glorify God in every stage of my life.
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
There is something that pretends to be christianity which is mostly mood. The measure of its faith is merely the measure of its feeling.
Elisabeth Elliot
Cruelty and wrong are not the greatest forces in the world. There is nothing eternal in them. Only love is eternal.
Elisabeth Elliot
Loneliness is a required course for leadership.
Elisabeth Elliot
The question is simply,'Who is your master?'Once that's settled, you ask whether any word have been spoken. If it has, you have your orders.
Elisabeth Elliot
Of one thing I am perfectly sure: God's story never ends with 'ashes.
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
I believe a woman, in order to be a good wife, must be (among other things) both sensual and maternal.
Elisabeth Elliot
Restlessness and impatience change nothing except our peace and joy.
Elisabeth Elliot
Loneliness itself is material for sacrifice. The very longings themselves can be offered to Him who understands perfectly. The transformation into something He can use for the good of others takes place only when the offering is put into his hands.
Elisabeth Elliot
He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose.
Elisabeth Elliot
No marriage can survive without forgiveness. Marriage is a long term commitment between two sinners.
Elisabeth Elliot
Jesus loved the will of His Father. He embraced the limitations, the necessities, the conditions, the very chains of His humanity as He walked and worked here on earth, fulfilling moment by moment His divine commission and the stern demands of His incarnation. Never was there a word or even a look of complaint.
