This Job

This job has been given
to me to do.
Therefore, it is a gift.
Therefore, it is a privilege.
Therefore, it is an offering.
I may make to God.  Therefore,
it is to be done gladly,
if it is to be done for Him,
Here, not somewhere else, I
may learn God's way.  In this
job, not in some other, God
looks for faithfulness.
~ Elisabeth Elliot

No Other Way

"It's a good thing the gospel

is powerful enough to break

our hearts for there's no

other way for Grace to get in."

Give Me Thy Heart

In the dark church she knelt alone,

Her tears were falling fast,

"Help, Lord," she cried, "the shades of death

Upon my soul are cast.

Have I not shunned the path of sin,

And chosen the better part?"

What voice came through the sacred air?

"My child, give Me thy heart."

"Have I not worn my strength away,

 With fast and penance sore?

Have I not watched and wept," she cried;

"Did Thy dear saints do more?

Have I not gained Thy grace, O Lord.

And won in Heaven my part?"

It echoed louder in her soul-

"My child, give Me thy heart."

~Oswald Chambers

Pain

Peering Anxiously

"Today is mine. 

 Tomorrow is none of my business.  

If I peer anxiously into the fog of the future,

 I will strain my spiritual eyes so that 

I will not see clearly what is require of me now." 

 -Elisabeth Elliot

Outside/Inside

"Outside the will of God,

there's nothing I want.

Inside the will of God

there is nothing I fear."

A.W. Tozer

I'm so glad

"I've been waiting for you, I'm so glad you're here my child!" -God
