Individual Strippings
“Each separate experience of individual stripping we may learn to accept as a fragment of the suffering Christ bore when He took it all. “Surely he hath borne our griefs and carried our sorrows.” This grief, this sorrow, this total loss that empties my hands and breaks my heart, I may, if I will, accept, and by accepting it, I find in my hands something to offer. And so I give it back to Him, who in mysterious exchange gives Himself to me.” -Elisabeth Elliot, These Strange Ashes
found in another of EE’s books…
“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.” – Ruth Stull (from EE’s P&P)
“courage, dearheart” -Aslan
you’re in my prayers. He’ll not fail you, dearest.
