The Calling

"The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance

and of my cup: Thou maintainest my lot."

- Psalm 16:5

 

"Hear the call of God to be a woman. Obey that call. Turn your energies to service.

Whether your service is to be to a husband and through him and the family and home

God gives you to serve the world, or whether you should remain, in the providence of God,

single in order to serve the world without the solace of husband, home, and family, you will know

fullness of life, fullness of liberty, and (I know whereof I speak) fullness of joy."

- Elisabeth Elliot

 

"Thou wilt shew me the path of life:

in Thy presence is fullness of joy;

at Thy right hand there are

pleasures forevermore."

- Psalm 16:11

 

 

"If you have chosen the set-apart path of a woman who fears the Lord,

your life is not your own. The Spirit of Christ has a claim upon you.

You have a call upon your life; you have a job to do. He has called you to minister

His love to those in need. This sacred claim is the highest privilege we could

ever receive. We can never repay what Christ did for us on the Cross. But

because He has made us His hands and feet to this world, we have the incredible

opportunity to give to others the very same astounding, transforming love that He gave us."

- Leslie Ludy, Sacred Singleness
