Elisabeth Elliot Quote: “To love means to open ourselves to suffering. Shall we shut our doors to love, then and ‘be safe’?” That’s the only alternative, really. But locking ourselves up and never facing another person won’t fix what’s really going on in our souls.”
Elisabeth Elliot Quote: “She is free not by disobeying the rules but by obeying them.”
Elisabeth Elliot Quote: “A disordered life speaks loudly of disorder in the soul.”
Elisabeth Elliot Quote: “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 Quote: “Cold prayers, like cold suitors, are seldom effective in their aims.”
Elisabeth Elliot Quote: “It would seem that unless we see through and beyond the physical, we shall not even see the physical as we ought to see it: as the very vehicle for the glory of God.”
Elisabeth Elliot Quote: “If we hold tightly to anything given to us unwilling to allow it to be used as the Giver means it to be used we stunt the growth of the soul. What God gives us is not necessarily “ours” but only ours to offer back to him, ours to relinguish, ours to lose, ours to let go of, if we want to be our true selves. Many deaths must go into reaching our maturity in Christ, many letting goes.”
Elisabeth Elliot Quote: “To be a follower of the Crucified means, sooner or later, a personal encounter with the cross. And the cross always entails loss. The great symbol of Christianity means sacrifice and no one who calls himself a Christian can evade this stark fact.”
Elisabeth Elliot Quote: “If deep in our hearts we suspect that God does not love us and cannot manage our affairs as well as we can, we certainly will not submit to His discipline.”
Elisabeth Elliot Quote: “The Indians had become people to me – they were no longer my “field.” While I had once declared them to be my equals, I now regarded myself as theirs. Instead of saying, “Oh, you are as good as I – let me help you,” I now said, “I am as poor as you. God help us all.”
Elisabeth Elliot Quote: “As we have a high old time this Christmas, may we who know Christ hear the cry of the damned as they hurtle headlong into the Christless night without ever a chance. May we be moved with compassion as our Lord was. May we shed tears of repentance for these we have failed to bring out of darkness. Beyond the smiling scenes of Bethehem may we see the crushing agony of Golgotha. May God give us a new vision of His will concerning the lost and our responsibility.”
Elisabeth Elliot Quote: “Faith receives, day by day, what a loving Heavenly Father apportions...”
Elisabeth Elliot Quote: “If you have lost your life, remember that He promises that you will find it.”
Elisabeth Elliot Quote: “My heart was saying, “Lord, take away this longing, or give me that for which I long.” The Lord was answering, “I must teach you to long for something better.”
Elisabeth Elliot Quote: “The deepest things that I have learned in my own life have come from the deepest suffering. And out of the deepest waters and the hottest fires have come the deepest things that I know about God.”
Elisabeth Elliot Quote: “Freedom begins way back. It begins not with doing what you want but with doing what you ought – that is, with discipline.”
Elisabeth Elliot Quote: “I’m convinced that there are a good many things in this life that we really can’t do anything about, but that God wants us to do something with.”
Elisabeth Elliot Quote: “A wedding is a celebration of marriage, of an institution ordained by God at the creation of man, to be entered into with solemnity as well as with joy.”
Elisabeth Elliot Quote: “Cruelty and wrong are not the greatest forces in the world. There is nothing eternal in them. Only love is eternal.”
Elisabeth Elliot Quote: “But little deaths have to be died just as great ones do. Every reminder that aroused a longing had to be offered up.”
Elisabeth Elliot Quote: “Just start thanking God in advance because no matter what is about to happen, you already know that God is in charge. You are not adrift in a sea of chaos.”
Elisabeth Elliot Quote: “If I am to love the Lord my God with all my mind, there will not be room in it for carnality, for pride, for anxiety, for the love of myself. How can the mind be filled with the love of the Lord and have space left over for things like that?”
Elisabeth Elliot Quote: “We are not meant to die merely in order to be dead. God could not want that for the creatures to whom He has given the breath of life. We die in order to live.”
Elisabeth Elliot Quote: “The cross means suffering. Suffering’s meaning is to be learned through the cross.”
Elisabeth Elliot Quote: “The way you keep your house, the way you organize your time, the care you take in your personal appearance, the things you spend your money on, all speak loudly about what you believe. The beauty of thy peace shines forth in an ordered life. A disordered life speaks loudly of disorder in the soul.”
Elisabeth Elliot Quote: “There is, in fact, no redemptive work done anywhere without suffering.”
Elisabeth Elliot Quote: “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 Quote: “Eve’s daughters are as flowers and none can ever say they are through unfolding. And what man can predict the consummate end of such a life when its ultimate center is Sharon’s Rose?”
Elisabeth Elliot Quote: “Psychology describes. The Bible prescribes. ‘Turn from evil. Let that be the medicine to keep you in health.’ Pr 3:7,8.”
Elisabeth Elliot Quote: “Is the distinction between living for Christ and dying for Him so great? Is not the second the logical conclusion of the first?”
Elisabeth Elliot Quote: “Suffering creates the possibility of growth in, holiness, but only to those who, by letting all else go, are open to the training – not by arguing with the Lord about what they did or did not do to deserve punishment, but by praying, “Lord, show me what You have for me in this.”
Elisabeth Elliot Quote: “It seems disrespectful to me to see ladies in church in very short skirts or skimpy, sleeveless tops. I would imagine that it could be distracting to men who are trying to keep their minds on God.”
Elisabeth Elliot Quote: “Money holds terrible power when it is loved.”
Elisabeth Elliot Quote: “Thanksgiving is a spiritual exercise, necessary to the building of a healthy soul. It takes us out of the stuffiness of ourselves into the fresh breeze and sunlight of the will of God.”
Elisabeth Elliot Quote: “Women still dream and hope, pin their emotions on some man who doesn’t reciprocate, and end up in confusion.”
Elisabeth Elliot Quote: “Most of the time we like the idea of our own freedom. There are times when we do not at all like the idea of the freedom of others. If we suffer because of their freedom, let us remember that they suffer because of ours.”
Elisabeth Elliot Quote: “If He is God, He is still in charge.”
Elisabeth Elliot Quote: “Of all things difficult to rule, none were more so than my will and affections.”
Elisabeth Elliot Quote: “This is the context in which the story must be understood – as one incident in human history, an incident in certain ways and to certain people important, but only one incident. God is the God of human history, and He is at work continuously, mysteriously, accomplishing His eternal purposes in us, through us, for us, and in spite of us.”
Elisabeth Elliot Quote: “The one who loves knows better than anyone else how to conduct himself, how to serve the one he loves. Love prescribes an answer in a given situation as no mere rule can do.”
Elisabeth Elliot Quote: “But you will find yourself disarmed utterly, and your accusing spirit transformed into loving forgiveness the moment you remember that you did, in fact, marry only a sinner, and so did he.”
Elisabeth Elliot Quote: “If the yearning went away, what would we have to offer up to the Lord? Aren’t they given to us to offer? It is the control of passion, not it’s eradication, that is needed.”
Elisabeth Elliot Quote: “A great many things determine how people live, and money is not at the top of the list. Choices are always available. What you choose will depend on how you see things: yourself, your work, your right to express taste and desire and personality, your understanding of the love of God as expressed in His creation and order and harmony.”
Elisabeth Elliot Quote: “Matters of the heart still can never put us beyond His love and redemption.”
Elisabeth Elliot Quote: “The preoccupations of seventeen-year-old girls – their looks, their clothes, their social life – do not change very much from generation to generation. But in every generation there seem to be a few who make other choices. Amy was one of the few.”
Elisabeth Elliot Quote: “Jim practiced what he preached when he wrote in his diary: ‘Wherever you are, be all here. Live to the hilt every situation you believe to be the will of God.”
Elisabeth Elliot Quote: “Missionary work in a place where Christ has never been named is sometimes less arduous than in places where, though named, He has not been honored by lives of holy obedience.”
Elisabeth Elliot Quote: “What we don’t have now we don’t need now. Possibly His very withholding is in order that the boy may learn, at this crucial juncture in his life, to turn to God in prayer for a deeply felt need.”
Elisabeth Elliot Quote: “Whatever dark tunnel we may be called upon to travel through, God has been there.”
Elisabeth Elliot Quote: “I wonder if she allowed the man to see her eagerness and scared him? Possibly her failure to wait quietly caused him to “curtail the friendship”.”
