More Quotes From Elisabeth Elliot

I beg women to wait. Wait on God. Keep your mouth shut. Don’t expect anything until the declaration is clear and forthright. And to the men I say be careful with us, please. Be circumspect.
Elisabeth Elliot

Elisabeth Elliot

Elisabeth Elliot
He says no in order that He may, in some way we cannot imagine, say yes. All His ways with us are merciful. His meaning is always love.
Elisabeth Elliot
Needs multiply as they are met. Woe to the man who would live a disentangled life. Be on guard, my soul, of complicating your environment so that you have neither time nor room for growth!
Elisabeth Elliot
Eternity shall be at once a great eye-opener and a great mouth-shutter." -Jim Elliot
