Leave it all in the Hands that were wounded for you

Elisabeth Elliot

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
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

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.
