  7. Elisabeth Elliot _ Let Me be a Woman

    Very often {nearly always, I'm afraid} when I come to church my feelings are uppermost in my mind. This is natural. We are human, we are "selves," and it takes no effort at all to feel. But worship is not feeling. Worship is not an experience. Worship is an act, and this takes discipline. We are to worship "in spirit and in truth." Never mind about the feelings. We are to worship in spite of them. Finding myself scattered in all directions and in need of corralling like so many skittish calves, I kneel before the service begins and ask to be delivered from a vague preoccupation with myself and my own concerns and to be turned, during this short hour, to God.

It is today for which we are responsible. God still owns tomorrow.

    Freedom begins way back. It begins not with doing what you want but with doing what you ought - that is, with discipline.
