Leave it all in the Hands that were wounded for you

Elisabeth Elliot

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
If it were not for uncertainties, we would have no need to walk by faith.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Faith Need Religious Uncertain Unknown Walk
A spirit of restlessness and resistance can never wait, but one who believes he is loved with an everlasting love, and knows that underneath are the everlasting arms, will find strength and peace.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Believe God Himself Love Peace Resistance Spirit Strength Wait
If God, like a father, denies us what we want now it is in order to give us some far better thing later on. The will of God, we can rest assured, is invariably a better thing.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Better Father God Order Willing
The secret is Christ in me, not me in a different set of circumstances.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Circumstance Different Secret
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

Endurance Interrupt Ourselves Planning Schedule Wasted
Of one thing I am perfectly sure: God’s story never ends with ‘ashes.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

End God Myself Oneself Perfection Story
The willingness to be and to have just what God wants us to be and have, nothing more, nothing less, and nothing else, would set our hearts at rest, and we would discover the simpler life, the greater peace.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Discover God Greatness Heart Life Peace Simplicity Willing
It is always possible to be thankful for what is given rather than to complain about what is not given. One or the other becomes a habit of life.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Complain Gratitude Habit Life Possible Satisfaction Thankful
God will not protect you from anything that will make you more like Jesus.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Character God Humble Myself Protection
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
It is impossible to love deeply without sacrifice.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Deep Impossible Love Sacrifice
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
There is nothing worth living for, unless it is worth dying for.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Death Himself Live Worth
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
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.
