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 title of this second talk is In Acceptance, Life Peace.

And I've taken those words from a poem written by Amy Carmichael, a woman whose life has

meant more to me than I could ever possibly express.

She was an Irish missionary who went to India back in the late 1890s and spent 53 years

there.

She died in India, never had a furlough, and she remained single all of her life.

And she knew, I think, a great deal about loneliness for many different reasons.

But this is just one of the many poems of hers that has had a profound impact on my own

life, and it is where I got the title for my talk.

She uses the pronoun he, I'm sure referring to herself.

He said, I will forget the dying faces, the empty places, they shall be filled again.

I will voice his moaning deep within the cease.

But vain the word, vain, vain, not in forgetting, life peace.

He said, I will crowd action upon action.

The strife of faction shall stir me in sustain, O tears that drown the fire of manhood cease.

But vain the word, vain, vain, not in endeavor, life peace.
