Peace does not dwell in outward things, but in the heart prepared to wait trustfully and quietly on Him Who has all things safely in His hands.
—Elisabeth Elliot
I can experience inner peace even when the world around me is fighting, yelling, and falling apart. Peace cannot be bought or negotiated, true peace comes from God when I decide to wait quietly on Him.
Elisabeth Elliot’s writing has greatly influenced my life, even as a grown married woman. I truly wish someone had introduced me to her works when I was a teenager, but I am learning that it is never too late to incorporate the principles she teaches: namely, that passion is not sinful and purity is not prudish. Nor are they mutually exclusive. You can have both.
