The world is full of noise. Might we not set ourselves to learn silence, stillness solitude?
Elisabeth ElliotWhat God gives in answer to our prayers will always be the thing we most urgently need, and it will always be sufficient.
Elisabeth ElliotWe are women, and my plea is Let me be a woman, holy through and through, asking for nothing but what God wants to give me, receiving with both hands and with all my heart whatever that is.
Elisabeth ElliotThanksgiving and Christmas then, for us who love God, are not mere time outs from work days. They are a celebration of the gift of work itself, days on which we celebrate work by declaring our freedom. In a manner of speaking we announce that on this one day we may rest from our work, and without pressure or guilt, we may be glad. A holiday is a holy day-meant for rejoicing in God.
