Elliot on Femininity
I would be the last to deny that women are given gifts that they are meant to exercise. But we must not be greedy in insisting on having all of them, in usurping the place of men. We are women, and my plea is Let me be a woman, holy through and through, asking for nothing but what God wants to give me, receiving with both hands and with all my heart whatever that is. No arguments would ever be needed if we all shared the spirit of the "most blessed among women."
-Elisabeth Elliot
I pray for a renewed passion for biblical femininity among women like that of Elisabeth Elliot and for a strong foundation of biblical masculinity among men on which it may thrive.
