Elisabeth Elliot
“God never witholds from His child that which His love and wisdom call good. God's refusals are always merciful -- "severe mercies" at times but mercies all the same. God never denies us our hearts desire except to give us something better.”
Elisabeth Elliot

C.S. Lewis
“The homemaker has the ultimate career. All other careers exist for one purpose only - and that is to support the ultimate career. ”
C.S. Lewis

Jerry Bridges, The Discipline of Grace: God's Role and Our Role in the Pursuit of Holiness

Jonathan Edwards
“Resolved, that I will live so, as I shall wish I had done when I come to die.”
Jonathan Edwards

Elisabeth Elliot
“One does not surrender a life in an instant. That which is lifelong can only be surrendered in a lifetime.”
Elisabeth Elliot
