Elisabeth Elliot Quotes About Loneliness

• Loneliness comes over us sometimes as a sudden tide. It is one of the terms of our humanness, and, in a sense, therefore, incurable. Yet I have found peace in my loneliest times not only through acceptance of the situation, but through making it an offering to God, who can transfigure it into something for the good of others.

• Accept your loneliness. It is one stage, and only one stage, on a journey that brings you to God. It will not always last. Offer up your loneliness to God, as the little boy offered to Jesus his five loaves and two fishes. God can transform it for the good of others. Above all, do something for somebody else!

• El dolor de la soledad es una forma de llamar nuestra atención. Puede que deseemos fervientemente ser obedientes y santos. Pero puede que estemos pasando por alto el hecho de que es aquí, donde nos encontramos en este momento y no en otro lugar o en otro momento, donde podemos aprender a amarle: aquí donde parece que no está trabajando, donde parece oscuro o aterrador, donde no está haciendo lo que esperábamos que hiciera, donde está más ausente. Aquí y en ninguna otra parte es el lugar señalado. Si la fe no trabaja aquí, no trabajará en absoluto.

• Loneliness itself is material for sacrifice. The very longings themselves can be offered to Him who understands perfectly. The transformation into something He can use for the good of others takes place only when the offering is put into his hands.
