Elisabeth Elliot
“It is a naive sort of feminism that insists that women prove their ability to do all the things that men do. This is a distortion and a travesty. Men have never sought to prove that they can do all the things women do. Why subject women to purely masculine criteria? Women can and ought to be judged by the criteria of femininity, for it is in their femininity that they participate in the human race. And femininity has its limitations. So has masculinity. That is what we’ve been talking about. To do this is not to do that. To be this is not to be that. To be a woman is not to be a man. To be married is not to be single - which may mean not to have a career. To marry this man is not to marry all the others. A choice is a limitation.”
Elisabeth Elliot, Let Me Be a Woman

A.W. Tozer
“When I understand that everything happening to me is to make me more Christlike, it resolves a great deal of anxiety.”
A.W. Tozer

Jerry Bridges
“God’s unfailing love for us is an objective fact affirmed over and over in the Scriptures. It is true whether we believe it or not. Our doubts do not destroy God’s love, nor does our faith create it. It originates in the very nature of God, who is love, and it flows to us through our union with His beloved Son.”
Jerry Bridges, Trusting God: Even When Life Hurts

Jerry Bridges
“Because God is sovereign, He is able to answer. Because He is faithful to His promises, He will answer.”
Jerry Bridges, Trusting God: Even When Life Hurts

Charles Haddon Spurgeon
“Come boldly, O believer, for despite the whisperings of Satan and the doubtings of thine own heart, thou art greatly beloved.”
Charles Spurgeon
