“Heaven is not here, it’s There. If we were given all we wanted here our hearts would settle for this world rather than the next. God is forever luring us up and away from this one, wooing us to Himself and His still invisible Kingdom, where we will certainly find what we so keenly long for.”
― Elisabeth Elliot, Keep a Quiet Heart

“We have permission to grieve. We have permission to wail, to doubt, and to question. God can handle all of our questions and our hurts. We can bring all of that to Him, knowing “he has not despised or scorned the suffering of the afflicted one; he has not hidden his face from him but has listened to his cry for help” (Psalm 22:24).”

“It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.”

“I’ve many a cross to take up now, And many left behind; But present troubles move me not, Nor shake my quiet mind. And what may be to-morrow’s cross I never seek to find; My Father says, “Leave that to me, And keep a quiet mind.” Anonymous”
