April 2 - I am seized with fear that my own will be given place, and I will thus ruin my usableness for God. It would be easy to follow my feelings ... to interfere with the voice of the Lord when He says, "This is the way, walk ye in it." Elisabeth Elliot
Until the will and the affections are brought under the authority of Christ, we have not begun to understand, let alone accept His Lordship. The Cross, as it enters the love life, will reveal the heart's truth. My heart, I knew, would be forever a lonely hunter unless settled "where true joys are to be found."
