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

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

God Love Religious Yourself
Our Heavenly Healer often has to hurt us in order to heal us. We sometimes fail to recognize His mighty love in this, yet we are firmly held always in the Everlasting Arms.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Failure Healing Heaven Himself Order Recognition
We can’t really tell how crooked our thinking is until we line it up with the straight edge of Scripture.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Ourselves Scripture 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
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

Business God Himself Ocean Planning Prayer
Either we are adrift in chaos or we are individuals, created, loved, upheld and placed purposefully, exactly where we are. Can you believe that? Can you trust God for that?
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Creation God Love Place Purpose Trust Yourself
There is nothing worth living for, unless it is worth dying for.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Death Himself Live Worth
What I ought to do and what I feel like doing are seldom the same thing.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Action Feeling Myself
Worship is not an experience. Worship is an act, and this takes discipline. We are to worship ”in spirit and in truth.” Never mind about the feelings. We are to worship in spite of them.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Act Discipline Experience Feeling Mindset Worship
The disciplined Christian will be very careful what sort of counsel he seeks from others. Counsel that contradicts the written Word is ungodly counsel. Blessed is the man that walketh not in that.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Blessing Care Discipline God Himself Man Seek Walk
What God gives in answer to our prayers will always be the thing we most urgently need, and it will always be sufficient.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Answer Enough God Prayer Urgent
The secret is Christ in me, not me in a different set of circumstances.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Circumstance Different Secret
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
God will not protect you from anything that will make you more like Jesus.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Character God Humble Myself Protection
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
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
