God always gives His best to those who leave the choice with him.
Jim Elliot
Image
Rest in this-it is His business to lead, command, impel, send, call, or whatever you want to call it. It is your business to obey, follow, move, respond, or what have you... The sound of 'gentle stillness' after all the thunder and wind have passed will be the ultimate Word from God.
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
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
Eternity shall be at once a great eye-opener and a great mouth-shutter.
Jim Elliot
Image
The shiny paint laid on by curiosity's hand has worn off. What thing better can a man know than the love of Christ, which passes knowledge?
Jim Elliot
Image
Let not our longing slay the appetite of our living.
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.

Image
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.

Image
No one warns young people to follow Adam's example. He waited till God saw his need. Then God made Adam sleep, prepared for his mate, and brought her to him.

It's hard to steer a parked car.

Image
God deliver me from the dread asbestos of “other things.” Saturate me with the oil of the Spirit that I may be aflame.
Jim Elliot
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Lord, give me firmness without hardness, steadfastness without dogmatism, love without weakness.
Jim Elliot
Image
Father, take my life, yea, my blood if Thou wilt, and consume it with Thine enveloping fire. I would not save it, for it is not mine to save. Have it Lord, have it all. Pour out my life as an oblation for the world. Blood is only of value as it flows before Thine altar

Eagles are very tolerant and very adaptable, but they have to get established first. When birds are setting up their breeding territory, they are the most susceptible to being discouraged.
Jim Elliot
Image
Unwillingness to accept God's 'way of escape' from temptation frightens me - what a rebel yet resides within.
Jim Elliot
Image
I seek not a long life, but a full one, like you Lord Jesus.
Jim Elliot
Image
None of it gets to be 'old stuff', for it is Christ in print, the Living Word. We wouldn't think of rising in the morning without a facewash, but we often neglect that purgative cleansing of the Word of the Lord. It wakes us up to our responsibility
