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 Elliott.

The subject of forgiveness is one that I think most of us have to go back to again and again.

And we find ourselves wishing that someone who has deeply heard us would have the grace

to ask for forgiveness.

Last years have gone by, but the memory yet remains.

Why not simply take the hurt to the foot of the cross?

Isn't that the place where all such things should be dealt with?

Simply take the hurt to the foot of the cross and leave it there.

Remember Pilgrim's progress when he reached the hill of Calvary.

His burden fell off his back, rolled down the hill into the tomb.

And he said he had given me rest by his sorrows and life by his death.

So I don't know who I may be talking to this afternoon who has some unfinished business

that caused a rift.

God knows, and you know, and remember that there is bomb in Gilead, which can make the

wounded whole.

Baron Vogue Hugo describes that wonderful bomb, and this is B-A-L-N, of course.

The law of suffering and sacrifice is the one way to joy and possession.
