Quotes from Elisabeth Elliot

True faith goes into operation when there are no answers.

There is something that pretends to be christianity which is mostly mood. The measure of its faith is merely the measure of its feeling.

Faith has to be exercised in the midst of ordinary, down-to-earth living.

Faith receives, day by day, what a loving Heavenly Father apportions.

If God, like a father, denies us what we want now it is in order to give us some far better thing later on. The will of God, we can rest assured, is invariably a better thing.

Have we the humility to thank our Father for the gift of pain?

Fear arises when we imagine that everything depends on us.

The heart set to do the Father's will, need never fear defeat.

Don't dig up in doubt what you planted in faith.

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.

If your goal is purity of heart, be prepared to be thought very odd.
