So don't stand there and tell me how you feel depends on how you look!

- Elisabeth Elliot99◆ Often a Christian man or woman falls prey to that cruel and vexatious spirit, wondering how to find marriage, who, when, where?

'My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.' (Ps. 62:5 KJV) In Him alone lie our security, our confidence, our trust. A spirit of restlessness and resistance can never wait, but one who believes he is loved with an everlasting love, and knows that underneath are the everlasting arms, will find strength and peace.

- Elisabeth Elliot99◆ When you chose to follow the way of purity, did you expect it to be easy? When you decided to wait for the best, did you think that waiting would be fun?

My daughter, that which you wait for the longest you treasure the most, and through much struggle the prize is won.
