Last night, my family and I watched “Through Gates
of Splendor,” a movie that follows the journey of Elisabeth Elliot and her
fellow missionaries. Today’s quote bears much significance in the light of her
story and the sacrifices she, her husband, and many others made to share the
gospel.
“The
will of God is not something you add to your life. It’s a course you choose.
You either line yourself up with the Son of God . . . or you capitulate to the
principle which governs the rest of the world.”
-Elisabeth Elliot

I love this focus on Elisabeth Elliot! She has had a powerful influence on my life and my friends' lives. She is one in a million and I, for one, will miss her! I truly mourn her passing but rejoice that she is with her Savior.
ReplyDeleteWell said. Her godliness and complete devotional to Jesus is absolutely inspiring! I hope I can live with such complete abandon to Christ!
