A quiet heart is content with what God gives. It is enough. All is grace.

Elisabeth Elliot

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
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

Forever God Heart Heaven Himself Settle World
What God gives in answer to our prayers will always be the thing we most urgently need, and it will always be sufficient.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Answer Enough God Prayer Urgent
A prayerful heart and an obedient heart will learn, very slowly and not without sorrow, to stake everything on God Himself.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Heart Himself Learning Obedience Prayer Slow Sorrow
You are loved with an everlasting love. And underneath are the everlasting arms.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

God Love Religious Yourself
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
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
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
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 have one desire now – to live a life of reckless abandon for the Lord, putting all my energy and strength into it.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Abandonment Desire Energy Life Live Myself Strength
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
To love God is to love His will. It is to wait quietly for life to be measured by One who knows us through and through. It is to be content with His timing and His wise appointment.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

God Love Oneself Quiet Satisfaction Wait Willing Wisdom
There is nothing worth living for, unless it is worth dying for.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Death Himself Live Worth
God never denies us our hearts desire except to give us something better.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Better Desire Expectation God Heart Ourselves
God will not protect you from anything that will make you more like Jesus.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Character God Humble Myself Protection
If my life is surrendered to God, all is well. Let me not grab it back, as though it were in peril in His hand but would be safer in mine!
ELISABETH ELLIOT

God Hands Life Myself Safety Surrender
