The fact that
I am a woman does not make me a different kind of Christian, but the fact that
I am a Christian makes me a different kind of woman. - Elisabeth Elliot
I realized
that the deepest spiritual lessons are not learned by His letting us have our
way in the end, but by His making us wait, bearing with us in love and patience
until we are able to honestly to pray what He taught His disciples to pray: Thy
will be done.- Elisabeth Elliot
Today is
mine. Tomorrow is none of my business. If I peer anxiously into the fog of the
future, I will strain my spiritual eyes so that I will not see clearly what is
required of me now. - Elisabeth Elliot
Where does
your security lie? Is God your refuge, your hiding place, your stronghold, your
shepherd, your counselor, your friend, your redeemer, your saviour, your guide?
If He is, you don't need to search any further for security. - Elisabeth Elliot
One reason we
are so harried and hurried is that we make yesterday and tomorrow our business,
when all that legitimately concerns us is today. If we really have too much to
do, there are some items on the agenda which God did not put there. Let us
submit the list to Him and ask Him to indicate which items we must delete.
There is always time to do the will of God. If we are too busy to do that, we
are too busy. - Elisabeth Elliot
But the
question to precede all others, which finally determines the course of our
lives is, 'What do I really want?' Was it to love what God commands, in the
words of the collect, and to desire what He promises? Did I want what I wanted,
or did I want what He wanted, no matter what it might cost? - Elisabeth Elliot
God has
promised to supply all our needs. What we don’t have now, we don’t need now. - Elisabeth
Elliot
Don’t dig up
in doubt what you have planted in faith. - Elisabeth Elliot
When ours are
interrupted, his are not. His plans are proceeding exactly as scheduled, moving
us always (including those minutes or hours or years which seem most useless or
wasted or unendurable).- Elisabeth Elliot
Leave it all
in the hands that were wounded for you. - Elisabeth Elliot
