Elisabeth Elliot's Trust in God's Call
Story★★★★Elisabeth Elliot struggled with her willingness to let him go. Finally she confronted
him, asking him the question that burned within her: “Jim, are you sure you are
supposed to go?”
His simple reply: “I am called.”
“So, it was all right,” Elisabeth later wrote. “Scriptural principles, God-directed
circumstances, and Jim’s own inward assurance were consonant. I could share in it,
then; I could happily help him plan.”
The point
Elisabeth Elliot struggles to let her husband Jim go to the Auca Indians, but recognizing his calling allows her to support his calling joyfully.
