“The priest had told Elisabeth how much that moment in Scripture moved his soul. “. . . we are human, as Peter was, and apt to make mistakes. But there is that look, that hope. Could you take away with you from Jerusalem any better souvenir than to know that here Jesus had turned and looked upon you?”

“Though we can’t predict or control or demand the outcome of our circumstances, we can know with great certainty we will be okay. Better than okay. Better than normal. We will be victorious because Jesus is victorious (1 Corinthians 15:57). And victorious people were never meant to settle for normal.”

“Few loved the Bible more than Elisabeth Elliot. But she was appalled when Christians used it as a weapon to clobber or distance themselves from people who were different from them. Or to distance themselves from suffering, mysteries, and difficult questions. “Immaturity cannot tolerate ambiguity,” Elisabeth thought later. “It’s either black or white. And if you make your system your god, you’ll soon be telling lies in order to remain consistent.”⁠8 Such people were stuck. Static.”
― Ellen Vaughn, Being Elisabeth Elliot: The Authorized Biography: Elisabeth’s Later Years
