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

Elisabeth Elliot

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
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
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
The will of God is not something you add to your life. It’s a course you choose. You either line yourself up with the Son of God, or you capitulate to the principle which governs the rest of the world.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Add Choice God Government Life Principle Willing World
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
The willingness to be and to have just what God wants us to be and have, nothing more, nothing less, and nothing else, would set our hearts at rest, and we would discover the simpler life, the greater peace.

There is nothing worth living for, unless it is worth dying for.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Death Himself Live Worth
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
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

Day Faith Life Live Reality Responsibility Time
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
Our future may look fearfully intimidating, yet we can look up to the Engineer of the Universe, confident that nothing escapes His attention or slips out of the control of those strong hands.

It is impossible to love deeply without sacrifice.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Deep Impossible Love Sacrifice
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.

The secret is Christ in me, not me in a different set of circumstances.

If you believe in a God who controls the big things, you have to believe in a God who controls the little things. It is we, of course, to whom things look ‘little’ or ‘big’.
