The will of God is always a bigger thing than we bargain for, but we must believe that whatever it involves, it is good, acceptable and perfect.
Jim ElliotRest in this-it is His business to lead, command, impel, send, call, or whatever you want to call it. It is your business to obey, follow, move, respond, or what have you... The sound of 'gentle stillness' after all the thunder and wind have passed will be the ultimate Word from God.
Jim ElliotAs your life is in His hands, so are the days of your life. But donโt let the sands of time get into the eye of your vision to reach those who sit in darkness. They simply must hear.
Jim ElliotGod deliver me from the dread asbestos of โother things.โ Saturate me with the oil of the Spirit that I may be aflame.
Jim ElliotIt makes me boil when I think of the power we profess and the utter impotency of our action. Believers who know one-tenth as much as we do are doing one-hundred times more for God, with His blessing and our criticism. Oh if I could write it, preach it, say it, paint it, anything at all, if only God's power would become known among us.
