Last night, while I cut out shape templates for Maths, I enjoyed listening to a talk by Elisabeth Elliot from 1983 (you'll find it here: elisabeth).
Here are some quotes which struck a chord:
"You have to go out, you don't have to come back."
"There is nothing worth living for,
unless its worth dying for."
I was challenged hearing again the famous Amy Carmichael poem:
"Hast thou no scar, no hidden scar, on foot or side or hand? I hear thee sung as mighty in the land. I hear them hail they bright, ascendant star.
Hast thou no scar?
Hast 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.
Hast thou no wound?
No wound, no scar- but as the Master must the servant be, and pierced are the feet that follow Me- but thine are whole! Can he have followed far who has nor wound, nor scar?"
