Leave it all in the Hands that were wounded for you

Elisabeth Elliot

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
Waiting on God requires the willingness to bear uncertainty, to carry within oneself the unanswered question, lifting the heart to God about it whenever it intrudes upon one’s thoughts.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

God Oneself Thinking Uncertain Wait Willing
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
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

Believe Experience Face God Greatness Happiness Heart Myself
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

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.

I’m convinced that there is nothing that can happen to me in this life that is not precisely designed by a sovereign Lord to give me the opportunity to learn to know Him.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

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

Of one thing I am perfectly sure: God’s story never ends with ‘ashes.

One does not surrender a life in an instant. That which is lifelong can only be surrendered in a lifetime.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Instant Life Oneself Surrender Time
Faith does not eliminate questions. But faith knows where to take them.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Eliminate Faith Place Question
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.
