Always seek peace between your heart and God, but in this world, always be careful to remain ever-restless, never satisfied, and always abounding in the work of the Lord.

Jim Elliot (Missionary, 1927 – 1956)

Wherever you are, be all there! Live to the hilt every situation you believe to be the will of God.

Jim Elliot (Missionary, 1927 – 1956)

Lord, make my way prosperous not that I achieve high station, but that my life be an exhibit to the value of knowing God.

Jim Elliot (Missionary, 1927 – 1956)

Lord, give me firmness without hardness, steadfastness without dogmatism, love without weakness.

Jim Elliot (Missionary, 1927 – 1956)

The will of God is always a bigger thing than we bargain for, but we must believe that whatever it involves, it is good, acceptable and perfect.

Jim Elliot (Missionary, 1927 – 1956)

Live every day as if the Son of Man were at the door, and gear your thinking to the fleeting moment. Just how can it be redeemed? Walk as if the next step would carry you across the threshold of Heaven. Pray. That saint who advances on his knees never retreats.

Jim Elliot (Missionary, 1927 – 1956)

God, I pray Thee, light these idle sticks of my life and may I burn for Thee. Consume my life, my God, for it is Thine. I seek not a long life, but a full one, like you, Lord Jesus.

Jim Elliot (Missionary, 1927 – 1956)

Rest in this – it is His business to lead, command, impel, send, call… It is your business to obey, follow, move, respond.

Jim Elliot (Missionary, 1927 – 1956)

God always gives His best to those who leave the choice with him.

Jim Elliot (Missionary, 1927 – 1956)

He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose.
