Self-pity is... a sinkhole from which no rescuing hand can drag you because you have chosen to sink.
Elisabeth Elliot
Image
In whatever God does in the course of our lives, he gives us, through the experience, some power to help others.
Elisabeth Elliot
Image
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.

What I ought to do and what I feel like doing are seldom the same thing.
Elisabeth Elliot

I'm convinced that there is nothing that can happen to me in this life that is not precisely designed by a sovereign Lord to give me the opportunity to learn to know Him.
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
Image
Faith has to be exercised in the midst of ordinary, down-to-earth living.
Elisabeth Elliot
Image
The will of God is not something you add to your life. It’s a course you choose. You either line yourself up with the Son of God…or you capitulate to the principle which governs the rest of the world.
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
Praise and glory to God for whom nothing is too hard
Elisabeth Elliot
Image
There is no need for faith where there is no consciousness of an element of risk.
Elisabeth Elliot
Image
Restlessness and impatience change nothing except our peace and joy.
Elisabeth Elliot
Image
If we do anything to further the kingdom of God, we may expect to find what Christ found on that road abuse, indifference, injustice, misunderstanding, trouble of some kind. Take it. Why not? To that you were called.
Elisabeth Elliot
Image
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
Image
The will of God is never exactly what you expect it to be. It may seem to be much worse, but in the end it's going to be a lot better and a lot bigger.
Elisabeth Elliot
Image
The only basis of peace is the cessation of the conflict of two wills: my will vs God’s.
