Elisabeth Elliot
“And I’ve come to see that it’s through the deepest suffering that God has taught me the deepest lessons. And if we’ll trust Him for it, we can come through to the unshakable assurance that He’s in charge. He has a loving purpose. And He can transform something terrible into something wonderful. Suffering is never for nothing.”
Elisabeth Elliot, Suffering Is Never for Nothing

C.S. Lewis
“Whichever he adopts, your main task will be the same. Let him begin by treating the Patriotism or the Pacifism as a part of his religion. Then let him, under the influence of partisan spirit, come to regard it as the most important part. Then quietly and gradually nurse him on to the stage at which the religion becomes merely part of the ‘cause’, in which Christianity is valued chiefly because of the excellent arguments it can produce in favour of the British war-effort or of Pacifism.”

Elisabeth Elliot
“There is, in fact, no redemptive work done anywhere without suffering.”
Elisabeth Elliot, Suffering Is Never for Nothing

C.S. Lewis
“In religion, as in war and everything else, comfort is the one thing you cannot get by looking for it. If you look for truth, you may find comfort in the end: if you look for comfort you will not get either comfort or truth—only soft soap and wishful thinking to begin with and, in the end, despair. —from Mere Christianity”
C.S. Lewis, A Year with C. S. Lewis: Daily Readings from His Classic Works

Elisabeth Elliot
“It’s only in the cross that we can begin to harmonize this seeming contradiction between suffering and love.”
Elisabeth Elliot, Suffering Is Never for Nothing
