The will of God is sweet tonight, altogether โgood and acceptable and perfect.โ The considerate love of the Lord Jesus for us seems such a kind thing now. I know it has always been so, but somehow I didnโt see how wise it was when it didnโt seem kindโฆ Remind me of this when I cannot regard His love as considerate some time.
Jim ElliotMost laws condemn the soul and pronounce sentence. The result of the law of my God is perfect. It condemns but forgives. It restores - more than abundantly - what it takes away.
Jim ElliotOur young men are going into the professional fields because they don't 'feel called' to the mission field. We don't need a call; we need a kick in the pants. We must begin thinking in terms of 'going out,' and stop our weeping because 'they won't come in.' Who wants to step into an igloo? The tombs themselves are not colder than the churches. May God send us forth.
