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 Law of Suffering and Sacrifice is the one way to joy and possession.

To forgive someone is an act of sacrifice.

It is to give up your right to yourself.

I had a phone call from a friend one morning and she said Elizabeth,

I need your help and she told me this long story about how she and her husband had very close

friends and other couple.

Been good friends for years, but then they made the terrible mistake of going on a vacation

together.

And I've heard that there are some disasters that happen when they do that.

And so I don't know what it was, can't remember what she told me, that everything fell apart

on that vacation.

And from that time on, this woman had not spoken to her until just yesterday and she said,

you know, she called me Elizabeth, can you believe this?

She called me to ask me if I would be Godmother to her new baby.

She said, do you think I have to say yes to that after what she did to me?
