More quotes by Jim Elliot
The will of God is sweet tonight, altogether ‘good and acceptable and perfect.’ The considerate love of the Lord Jesus for us seems such a kind thing now. I know it has always been so, but somehow I didn’t see how wise it was when it didn’t seem kind… Remind me of this when I cannot regard His love as considerate some time.
Jim Elliot
Live every day as if the Son of Man were at the door, and gear your thinking to the fleeting moment. Just how can it be redeemed? Walk as if the next step would carry you across the threshold of Heaven. Pray. That saint who advances on his knees never retreats.
Jim Elliot

Jim Elliot
Lord, give me firmness without hardness, steadfastness without dogmatism, love without weakness.
Jim Elliot
Birds are extremely valued as indicators of overall environmental health. If there's a problem in a wild bird population, it's indicative that something went wrong.
Jim Elliot
Missionaries are very human folks, simply a bunch of nobodies trying to exalt somebody.
Jim Elliot
Grieve not, then, if your sons seem to desert you, but rejoice, rather, seeing the will of God done gladly.
Jim Elliot
It's hard to steer a parked car.
Jim Elliot
I seek not a long life, but a full one, like you Lord Jesus.
Jim Elliot
Father, make of me a crisis man. Bring those I contact to decision. Let me not be a milepost on a single road make me a fork, that men must turn one way or another on facing Christ in me.
Jim Elliot
It is true that a fellow cannot ignore women - but he can think of them as he ought - as sisters, not as sparring partners.
