Cruelty and wrong are not the greatest forces in the world. There is nothing eternal in them. Only love is eternal.

Elisabeth Elliot

Faith’s most severe tests come not when we see nothing, but when we see a stunning array of evidence that seems to prove our faith vain.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Evidence Faith Ourselves See Stunning
Our vision is so limited we can hardly imagine a love that does not show itself in protection from suffering. The love of God is of a different nature altogether. It does not hate tragedy. It never denies reality. It stands in the very teeth of suffering.

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
A prayerful heart and an obedient heart will learn, very slowly and not without sorrow, to stake everything on God Himself.

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.
