Words of wisdom from Elisabeth Elliot:
"The idea of endurance in the Bible is associated with some wonderful words like faith, patience, crown of life, hope, love, courage. The emphasis of endurance is on the ultimate object, not on how the sufferer actually felt in the middle of the night." from All That Was Ever Ours
"Learn to give yourself away. Let it all go--all the sorrow, the frustration, the abuse and the ambition--and take hold of the cross." from A Path Through Suffering
"This is what the cross of Christ means--the willingness to take whatever conditions are necessary in the path of obedience, letting go of our preferences." from Relinquishing Our Will, cassette series
