It is God to whom and with whom we travel, and while He is the end of our journey, He is also at every stopping place.

Elisabeth Elliot

What I ought to do and what I feel like doing are seldom the same thing.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Action Feeling Myself
God has promised to supply all our needs. What we don’t have now, we don’t need now.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

God Material Need Promise Requirement
When obedience to God contradicts what I think will give me pleasure, let me ask myself if I love Him.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Happiness Himself Love Myself Obedience Thinking
I asked Him to give me the prayers He wants me to pray and to give or withhold anything according to his plan for me. Nothing is too big to ask of Him, not even an ocean lot. It is God’s business to decide if it is good for me. It is my business to obey Him.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Business God Himself Ocean Planning Prayer
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
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
There is nothing worth living for, unless it is worth dying for.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Death Himself Live Worth
Of one thing I am perfectly sure: God’s story never ends with ‘ashes.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

End God Myself Oneself Perfection Story
The life of faith is lived one day at a time, and it has to be lived – not always looked forward to as though the “real” living were around the next corner. It is today for which we are responsible. God still owns tomorrow.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Day Faith Life Live Reality Responsibility Time
I’m convinced that there is nothing that can happen to me in this life that is not precisely designed by a sovereign Lord to give me the opportunity to learn to know Him.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Design Himself Learning Life Myself Opportunity
We have ample evidence that the Lord is able to guide. The promises cover every imaginable situation. All we need to do is to take the hand he stretches out.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Evidence God Guide Hands Himself Imagination Promise
Our vision is so limited we can hardly imagine a love that does not show itself in protection from suffering. The love of God is of a different nature altogether. It does not hate tragedy. It never denies reality. It stands in the very teeth of suffering.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Different Hard Imagination Limitation Nature Ourselves Reality Suffering Togetherness Tragedy Vision
Leave it all in the Hands that were wounded for you
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Hands Leaving Wound Yourself
It is impossible to love deeply without sacrifice.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Deep Impossible Love Sacrifice
A whole lot of what we call ‘struggling’ is simply delayed obedience.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Obedience Simplicity Struggle
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
