Waiting on God requires the willingness to bear uncertainty...
Elisabeth Elliot
Holding Pattern
Patient waiting does not come naturally to most of us.
Unfailing Love
What they want they take, any way they can get it. Where do they learn this? Some of them, sadly, from their parents.
Clogged with Wishes
I was certainly in a state! “Clogged with wishes.” I was wishing that my wishes were what God wished, and if my wishes were not what God wished, I wished that I could wish that my wishes would go away, but the wishes were still there.
The Value of Broken Things
If my life is broken when given to Jesus, it is because pieces will feed a multitude, while a loaf will satisfy only a little lad.

Until the will and the affections are brought under the authority of Christ, we have not begun to understand, let alone to accept, His Lordship.
Living by Dying
In the love life, as well as in other areas: The fair new petals must fall, and for no visible reason, before new life can take place.
Unruly Affections
The bringing of our unruly wills and affections into order will cost us something.
Passion Is a Battleground
He wants us to learn to use our weapons.
The Life I Owe
It's my life, isn't it?
