Heaven is not here, it’s There. If we were given all we wanted here, our hearts would settle for this world rather than the next. God is forever luring us up and away from this one, wooing us to Himself and His still invisible Kingdom, where we will certainly find what we so keenly long for

Elisabeth Elliot

We cannot give our hearts to God and keep our bodies for ourselves.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Body God Heart Ourselves
The will of God is never exactly what you expect it to be. It may seem to be much worse, but in the end it’s going to be a lot better and a lot bigger.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Better Big End Expectation God Willing
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

God Guide Hide Himself Lying Place Search Security Yourself
Leave it all in the Hands that were wounded for you
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Hands Leaving Wound Yourself
A whole lot of what we call ‘struggling’ is simply delayed obedience.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Obedience Simplicity Struggle
Faith’s most severe tests come not when we see nothing, but when we see a stunning array of evidence that seems to prove our faith vain.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Evidence Faith Ourselves See Stunning
Restlessness and impatience change nothing except our peace and joy.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Change Impatience Joy Ourselves Peace
There is nothing worth living for, unless it is worth dying for.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Death Himself Live Worth
Choices will continually be necessary and — let us not forget — possible. Obedience to God is always possible. It is a deadly error to fall into the notion that when feelings are extremely strong we can do nothing but act on them.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Act Choice Death Errors Feeling Forget Necessary Obedience Possible
I believe with all my heart God’s Story has a happy ending. . . But not yet, not necessarily yet. It takes faith to hold on to that in the face of the great burden of experience, which seems to prove otherwise.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Believe Experience Face God Greatness Happiness Heart Myself
What I ought to do and what I feel like doing are seldom the same thing.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Action Feeling Myself
To love God is to love His will. It is to wait quietly for life to be measured by One who knows us through and through. It is to be content with His timing and His wise appointment.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

God Love Oneself Quiet Satisfaction Wait Willing Wisdom
If you believe in a God who controls the big things, you have to believe in a God who controls the little things. It is we, of course, to whom things look ‘little’ or ‘big’.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Appearance Believe Big Control God
We can’t really tell how crooked our thinking is until we line it up with the straight edge of Scripture.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Ourselves Scripture Thinking
Cruelty and wrong are not the greatest forces in the world. There is nothing eternal in them. Only love is eternal.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Cruelty Forever Greatness Love Wrong
Remind me that not everything needs to be said, and that there are very few things that need to be said by me.
ELISABETH ELLIOT
