"I was very cautious about what I put in the journals. I don't think it was because I feared someone else would discover my secrets. I think I was afraid to articulate, even for myself, feelings I might have to get rid of. Better to stick with what God was saying to me than what my heart was saying. It seemed the safer course. I do not repudiate it now. The only way to build a house on the rock is to hear the Word (I couldn't have heard it if all I listened to was my feelings) and then to try to do it.
Passion and Purity, Elisabeth Elliot.

aye... isn't it a comfort? that His Word is always true even though our hearts often aren't?
There, you said it. Amen.
O may He greatly increase our love for Him and His Word.
