“The deepest things that I have learned in my own life have come from the deepest suffering. And out of the deepest waters and the hottest fires have come the deepest things that I know about God.”
― Elisabeth Elliot, Suffering is Never for Nothing

“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

“I’m convinced that there are a good many things in this life that we really can’t do anything about, but that God wants us to do something with.”
― Elisabeth Elliot, Suffering Is Never for Nothing

“If your faith rests in your idea of how God is supposed to answer your prayers, your idea of heaven here on earth or pie in the sky or whatever, then that kind of faith is very shaky and is bound to be demolished when the storms of life hit it. But if your faith rests on the character of Him who is the eternal I AM, then that kind of faith is rugged and will endure.”
― Elisabeth Elliot, Suffering Is Never for Nothing
