The devil has made it his business to monopolize on three elements: noise, hurry, crowds. He will not allow quietness.

Elisabeth Elliot

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

Myself Need Reminder Talk
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
A whole lot of what we call ‘struggling’ is simply delayed obedience.

Obedience Simplicity Struggle
Restlessness and impatience change nothing except our peace and joy.

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
There is nothing worth living for, unless it is worth dying for.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Death Himself Live Worth
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

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.

Worship is not an experience. Worship is an act, and this takes discipline. We are to worship ”in spirit and in truth.” Never mind about the feelings. We are to worship in spite of them.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

One does not surrender a life in an instant. That which is lifelong can only be surrendered in a lifetime.

It is impossible to love deeply without sacrifice.

God is God. Because he is God, He is worthy of my trust and obedience. I will find rest nowhere but in His holy will that is unspeakably beyond my largest notions of what he is up to.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Beyond God Himself Holy Obedience Talk Trust
If it were not for uncertainties, we would have no need to walk by faith.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Faith Need Religious Uncertain Unknown Walk
Faith does not eliminate questions. But faith knows where to take them.
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
