Elliot on the Purpose of Suffering

“When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;
and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you;
when you walk through fire you shall not be burned,
and the flame shall not consume you” (Isaiah 43:2).

Suffering is never for nothing.

Author and teacher Elisabeth Elliot, 88, died yesterday in her sleep. Her legacy will never die.
