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
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
We fundamentalists are a pack of mood-loving showoffs. I'm sure the Minor Prophets would have found subject for correction.
Elisabeth Elliot
He is always doing something--the very best thing, the thing we ourselves would certainly choose if we knew the end from the beginning. He is at work to bring us to our full glory.
Elisabeth Elliot
Restlessness and impatience change nothing except our peace and joy. Peace does not dwell in outward things, but in the heart prepared to wait trustfully and quietly on Him who has all things safely in His hands.
Elisabeth Elliot
One does not surrender a life in an instant. That which is lifelong can only be surrendered in a lifetime.
Elisabeth Elliot
Everything if given to God can become your gateway to joy.
Elisabeth Elliot
Faith receives, day by day, what a loving Heavenly Father apportions.
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
Are you afraid? Remember the fear nots of the Bible.
Elisabeth Elliot
Among the most joyful people I have known have been some who seem to have had no human reason for joy. The sweet fragrance of Christ has shown through their lives.
Elisabeth Elliot
When obedience to God contradicts what I think will give me pleasure, let me ask myself if I love Him.
Elisabeth Elliot
A man will be as much of a gentleman as a woman requires.
Elisabeth Elliot
Lead me, Lord, to the Rock that is higher than I. Let me hear your word, give me grace to obey, to build steadily, stone upon stone, day by day, to do what You say. Establish my heart where floods have no power to overwhelm, for Christ's sake. Amen.
Elisabeth Elliot
For one who has made thanksgiving the habit of his life, the morning prayer will be, 'Lord, what will you give me today to offer back to you?'
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.
Elisabeth Elliot
What I ought to do and what I feel like doing are seldom the same thing.
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
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
Things which sound like platitudes become vital, living and powerful when you have to learn them in the bottom of the barrel, in dark tunnels.
