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

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

Eliminate Faith Place Question
It is God to whom and with whom we travel, and while He is the end of our journey, He is also at every stopping place.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

End God Himself Journey Place Stop Travel
I asked Him to give me the prayers He wants me to pray and to give or withhold anything according to his plan for me. Nothing is too big to ask of Him, not even an ocean lot. It is God’s business to decide if it is good for me. It is my business to obey Him.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

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

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
The devil has made it his business to monopolize on three elements: noise, hurry, crowds. He will not allow quietness.
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.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

You are loved with an everlasting love. And underneath are the everlasting arms.

If your goal is purity of heart, be prepared to be thought very odd.
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
God never denies us our hearts desire except to give us something better.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Better Desire Expectation God Heart Ourselves
Sometimes God’s refusals are His mercies.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

God Himself Mercy Perspective Rejection Time
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
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.
ELISABETH ELLIOT
