There is nothing worth living for unless it is worth dying for.

My grandmother lived a life devoted to Jesus, and today her talks have been made available in their original form.

So you too can be built up through the insights and mysteries God revealed to her throughout her ministry.

Now without further ado, here is Elizabeth Elliot.

We heard the students sing, soon that will be done with Troubles and Trials. And I remember being in a high school choir myself and we loved that song because to us troubles and trials

was just having to go to school. We didn't realize that there would be a few more things after

that. after that Amy Carmichael

I wonder if you've learned to accept the will of God.

One of the great principles that Amy Carmichael taught me to her writings was in

acceptance lie of peace, in acceptance lie of peace, peace, and that has been a great watchword in my own life.

In times of great difficulty when it was extremely difficult to suppose that God could have possibly had anything to do with the

troubles and trials.

But I do believe that one's readiness to do the will of God depends very much on one's home life as a child.

If the child is taught early to trust and obey, he's not going to have nearly as much difficulty in learning to trust and obey God. But of course

we're not excused. If we didn't have that kind of a background, it's just going to be more difficult to learn, but these are lessons which we all have to learn sooner or later.

Let me just read you a bit of Paul's troubles and trials.

He said five times I received from the Jews the 40 lashes minus one

three times I was beaten with rods once I was stoned three times I was shipwrecked

I spent a night and a day in the open sea I have been constantly on the move. I have been in danger from rivers,

in danger from bandits, in danger from my own countrymen, in danger from Gentiles, in danger in the city,

in danger in the country, in danger at sea and in danger from false brothers.

I have labored and toiled and have often gone without sleep.
