God’s love allows suffering – Elisabeth Elliot

God’s love allows suffering – Elisabeth Elliot

Our vision is so limited we can hardly imagine a love that does not show itself in protection from suffering … The love of God did not protect His own Son… He will not necessarily protect us – not from anything it takes to make us like His Son. A lot of hammering and chiseling and purifying by fire will have to go into the process.

God makes us wait – Elisabeth Elliot

He makes us wait. He keeps us on purpose in the dark. He makes us all when we want to run, sit when we want to walk, for He has things to do in our souls that we are not interested in.

If you ask yourself, “Who are the people who have most profoundly influenced my life?” you will probably find that every one of them has suffered in some way.
