No marriage can survive without forgiveness. Marriage is a long term commitment between two sinners.

Elisabeth Elliot

Faith does not eliminate questions. But faith knows where to take them.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Eliminate Faith Place Question
Cruelty and wrong are not the greatest forces in the world. There is nothing eternal in them. Only love is eternal.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Cruelty Forever Greatness Love Wrong
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
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
When obedience to God contradicts what I think will give me pleasure, let me ask myself if I love Him.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Happiness Himself Love Myself Obedience Thinking
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
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
There is nothing worth living for, unless it is worth dying for.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Death Himself Live Worth
Today is mine. Tomorrow is none of my business. If I peer anxiously into the fog of the future I will strain my spiritual eyes so that I will not see clearly what is required of me now!
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Business Eyes Future Myself Present See Spiritual
A whole lot of what we call ‘struggling’ is simply delayed obedience.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Obedience Simplicity Struggle
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
A man will be as much of a gentleman as a woman requires.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Gentle Love Man Relationship Requirement Woman
Where does your security lie? Is God your refuge, your hiding place, your stronghold, your shepherd, your counselor, your friend, your redeemer, your saviour, your guide? If He is, you don’t need to search any further for security.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

God Guide Hide Himself Lying Place Search Security Yourself
Until the will and the affections are brought under the authority of Christ, we have not begun to understand, let alone to accept, His lordship.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Acceptance Affection Authority Beginning Understand
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
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
