More quotes by Elisabeth Elliot
Remind me that not everything needs to be said, and that there are very few things that need to be said by me.
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
I asked Him to give me the prayers He wants me to pray and to give or withhold anything according to his plan for me. Nothing is too big to ask of Him, not even an ocean lot. It is God's business to decide if it is good for me. It is my business to obey Him.
Elisabeth Elliot
God's command 'Go ye, and preach the gospel to every creature' was the categorical imperative. The question of personal safety was wholly irrelevant.
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
Self-pity is... a sinkhole from which no rescuing hand can drag you because you have chosen to sink.
Elisabeth Elliot
Have we the humility to thank our Father for the gift of pain?
Elisabeth Elliot
Experience had quickly taught her that she could not survive the storms without the anchor of the constraining love of Christ and what she called the Rock-counsciousness of the promise given her, He goeth before.
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
We want to avoid suffering, death, sin, ashes. But we live in a world crushed and broken and torn, a world God Himself visited to redeem. We receive his poured-out life, and being allowed the high privilege of suffering with Him, may then pour ourselves out for others.
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
It would seem that unless we see through and beyond the physical, we shall not even see the physical as we ought to see it: as the very vehicle for the glory of God
Elisabeth Elliot
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
Everything if given to God can become your gateway to joy.
Elisabeth Elliot
Faith has to be exercised in the midst of ordinary, down-to-earth living.
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
The cross means suffering. Suffering's meaning is to be learned through the cross.
Elisabeth Elliot
What I ought to do and what I feel like doing are seldom the same thing.
Elisabeth Elliot
One way to begin to see how vastly indulgent we usually are is to fast. It is a long day that is not broken by the usual three meals. One finds out what an astonishing amount of time is spent in the planning, purchasing, preparing, eating, and cleaning up of meals.
Elisabeth Elliot
By trying to grab fulfillment everywhere, we find it nowhere.
Elisabeth Elliot
