Let not our longing slay the appetite of our living.

Forgive me for being so ordinary while claiming to know so extraordinary a God.
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.

He is no fool who parts with that which he cannot keep, when he is sure to be recompensed with that which he cannot lose.

If we are the sheep of His pasture, remember that sheep are headed for the altar.

Unwillingness to accept God's 'way of escape' from temptation frightens me - what a rebel yet resides within.
Jim Elliot
Image
Eternity shall be at once a great eye-opener and a great mouth-shutter.

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.

It makes me boil when I think of the power we profess and the utter impotency of our action. Believers who know one-tenth as much as we do are doing one-hundred times more for God, with His blessing and our criticism. Oh if I could write it, preach it, say it, paint it, anything at all, if only God's power would become known among us.

I seek not a long life, but a full one, like you Lord Jesus.
Jim Elliot
Image
Rest in this - it is His business to lead, command, impel, send, call... It is your business to obey, follow, move, respond.
Jim Elliot
Image
Be on guard, my soul, of complicating your environment so that you have neither time nor room for growth!
Jim Elliot
Image
God always gives His best to those who leave the choice with him.
Jim Elliot
Image
Grieve not, then, if your sons seem to desert you, but rejoice, rather, seeing the will of God done gladly.
Jim Elliot
Image
I do not know how to make a man think seriously about sin and judgment, and must look to the work of the Holy Spirit for any hint of such a working.
Jim Elliot
Image
It is true that a fellow cannot ignore women - but he can think of them as he ought - as sisters, not as sparring partners.
Jim Elliot
Image
We are so utterly ordinary, so commonplace, while we profess to know a Power the Twentieth Century does not reckon with.... Oh that God would make us dangerous!
Jim Elliot
Image
As your life is in His hands, so are the days of your life. But don’t let the sands of time get into the eye of your vision to reach those who sit in darkness. They simply must hear.
Jim Elliot
Image
God deliver me from the dread asbestos of “other things.” Saturate me with the oil of the Spirit that I may be aflame.

God is still on His throne, we're still on His 'footstool,' and there's only a knee's distance between!
