It makes me boil when I think of the power we profess and the utter impotency of our action.

[Jim Elliot @JimElliotDiary]

I many no longer depend on pleasant impulses to bring me before the Lord.

Be on guard, my soul, of complicating your environment so that you have neither time nor room for growth!

..brought her to him.We need more of this 'being asleep' in the will of God.Then we can receive what He brings us in His own time,if at all.

No one warns young people to follow Adam's example. He waited till God saw his need. Then God made Adam sleep, prepared for his mate..

Happy indeed the case of him to whom God's wisdom is more zestful then his daily meat.

[Jim Elliot @JimElliotDiary]

He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose.

[Jim Elliot @JimElliotDiary]

My worthlessness exalts God’s grace to sinners, but makes His choice most mysterious.

Why do you need a voice when you have a verse?

[Jim Elliot @JimElliotDiary]

Pray that I might not become so involved that I fail to apply myself to the Scriptures and apply all the Scriptures to myself.

[Jim Elliot @JimElliotDiary]

Let not him who accepts light in an instant despise him who gropes months in shadows.

[Jim Elliot @JimElliotDiary]

I have not the foggiest idea of how or where God will lead you. Of this I am sure: He will lead you and He will not let you miss your signs.

[Jim Elliot @JimElliotDiary]

If God does not speak through me, as it is plain He does not through most preachers today, I had better leave off trying to preach.
