Elisabeth Elliot Quote

Until the will and the affections are brought under the authority of Christ, we have not begun to understand, let alone accept, His Lordship. The Cross, as it enters the love life, will reveal the heart’s truth.

Returning to the United States after many years in South America, she became widely known as the author of over twenty books and as a speaker.
