“Our
vision is so limited we can hardly imagine a love that does not show itself in
protection from suffering. The love of God is of a different nature altogether.
It does not hate tragedy. It never denies reality. It stands in the very teeth
of suffering.”
-Elisabeth Elliot
God’s love for us was dying on a cross. It was
dirty, bloody, ugly, and painful. The love of God is much higher than our human
minds can fathom!
The lady who wrote this quote was a woman whose
husband had died by spearing on the
mission field in South America . This woman
knew about tragedy. And yet she turned her gaze to God, understanding that
tragedy doesn’t mean a lack of love.
