In whatever God does in the course of our lives, he gives us, through the experience, some power to help others.
Elisabeth Elliot
Image
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.

Praise and glory to God for whom nothing is too hard
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.

Faith receives, day by day, what a loving Heavenly Father apportions.
Elisabeth Elliot
Image
Christ is sufficient. We do not need support groups for each and every separate tribulation. The most widely divergent sorrows may all be taken to the foot of the same old rugged cross and find there cleansing, peace, and joy.
Elisabeth Elliot
Image
A whole lot of what we call 'struggling' is simply delayed obedience.
Elisabeth Elliot
Image
No one whose first concern is feeling good can be a disciple. We are called to carry a cross and to glorify God.
Elisabeth Elliot
Image
God is God. Because he is God, He is worthy of my trust and obedience. I will find rest nowhere but in His holy will that is unspeakably beyond my largest notions of what he is up to.
Elisabeth Elliot

Maturity starts with the willingness to give oneself.
Elisabeth Elliot
Image
The way you keep your house, the way you organize your time, the care you take in your personal appearance, the things you spend your money on, all speak loudly about what you believe. The beauty of thy peace shines forth in an ordered life. A disordered life speaks loudly of disorder in the soul.

It is impossible to love deeply without sacrifice.
