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

Elisabeth Elliot

Teach me to treat all that comes to me with peace of soul and with firm conviction that Your will governs all.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Come Government Peace Soul Teaching
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

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.

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

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

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.

If your goal is purity of heart, be prepared to be thought very odd.
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.

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.
