God will not protect you from anything that will make you more like Jesus.

Elisabeth Elliot

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.

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

Obedience Simplicity Struggle
There is nothing worth living for, unless it is worth dying for.

Death Himself Live Worth
The disciplined Christian will be very careful what sort of counsel he seeks from others. Counsel that contradicts the written Word is ungodly counsel. Blessed is the man that walketh not in that.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

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
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’.

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

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

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

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.

A man will be as much of a gentleman as a woman requires.
