Elisabeth Elliot

I have begun reading "Passion and Purity" by Elisabeth Elliot. The least I can say is that it has impacted me greatly. Every chapter has revelations to me and lines of profound wisdom.

"The greater potential for good, the greater the potential for evil."

The more I studied this statement, the more real it became to me. In severely wrong situations there is a greater potential for standing out in your firm beliefs. When there is a chance for you to shine in your moral beliefs and stand firm in your spiritual convictions. There will be hard choices to make. There will be a great potential for evil. But where there is evil, there is also a chance to do good. There is a chance to be faithful. When such a situation arises...what will you do? Will you realize your options and take the rough but rewarding path? Or will you ignore the ability to rise above the struggles? The choice is solely yours!
