“I’ve told the Lord I want to be an obedient servant, and He shot back, ‘And are you willing to face grief and pain or whatever it takes for Me to make you that?’ Even though I felt unable, I said, ‘What choice do I have? I know too much to drop the ball now. There’s no turning back.’ I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t afraid. But He has brought me this far and already my joy is unspeakable.”

( Elisabeth Elliot)
