From Elisabeth Elliot..

My friend Lisa sent me a card with this quote. I've read it over and over again. It was so timely for my circumstances and mood. It is from her book Keep A Quiet Heart.

"The choice is ours. It depends on our willingness to see everything in God, receive all from His hand, accept with gratitude just the portion and the cup He offers. Shall I charge Him with a mistake in His measurements or with misjudging the sphere in which I can best learn to trust Him? Has He misplaced me? Is He ignorant of things or people which, in my view, hinder doing His will?...The secret is Christ in me, not me in a different set of circumstances."
