Jim Elliot

Jim Elliot
Forgive me for being so ordinary while claiming to know so extraordinary a God.
Jim Elliot
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
God always gives His best to those who leave the choice with him.
