One does not surrender a life in an instant. That which is lifelong can only be surrendered in a lifetime.
Elisabeth ElliotA real woman understands that man was created to be the initiator, and she operates on that premise. This is primarily a matter of attitude. I am convinced that the woman who understands and accepts with gladness the difference between masculine and feminine will be, without pretense or self-consciousness, womanly.
Elisabeth ElliotA little quiet reflection will remind me that yes to God always leads in the end to joy.

Elisabeth ElliotTo me, a lady is not frilly, flouncy, flippant, frivolous and fluff-brained, but she is gentle, she is gracious, she is godly and she is giving. You and I have the gift of femininity... the more womanly we are, the more manly men will be and the more God is glorified. Be women, be only women, be real women in obedience to God.
