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

Elisabeth Elliot

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

Enough God Grace Heart Quite
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

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’.

You will never understand why God does what He does, but if you believe Him, that is all that is necessary. Let us learn to trust Him for who He is.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Believe God Himself Necessary Understand
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

Endurance Interrupt Ourselves Planning Schedule Wasted

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