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.

Someone handed me a slip of paper with a poem on it written by Amy Carmichael asking

that I read you this poem.

I am very happy to because it's one of my favorites of hers and it's one that both

Jim Elliott and I had memorized when we were college students.

Has thou no scar, no hidden scar on foot or side or hand?

I hear these sung as mighty in the land, has thou no scar, has thou no wound, yet I was

wounded by the archers spent, leaned me against a tree to die and rent by ravening beasts

that compassed me, I swooned, has thou no wound, no wound, no scar, yet as the master must

the servant be, and piercet are the feet that follow me, but thine are whole.

Can he have followed far who has no wound or scar?

And the title of my talk is the cost of forgiveness.

My husband and I had the opportunity one time to try to steer a man away from the precipice

of divorce.

It was very obvious to us that the marriage was in trouble.

We didn't have opportunity to talk to the woman, but we did have many, many times when

we had the chance to talk to this man.
