no more blind dates

Kayse & Jon Pratt

Jon sent me a Facebook message soon after that.  It consisted of one line.

“So, I hear you’re pretty awesome.  Is that true?”

My initial thought was “What on earth did I just get myself into?”, but…I responded with my own one-liner.

“Well, I guess you’ll just have to decide that for yourself.”

Read Their Story

He calleth His own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.” So His merciful and miraculous leading is individual—“Thou (singular) shalt remember all the way which the Lord thy God led thee.” The temptation is great to imitate or to expect the same manner of guidance which God has given another. “What is that to Thee; follow thou Me.” His Word abounds in examples of His separate leading of His sheep.

(from the journal of Elisabeth Elliot, quoted in Devotedly by Valorie Elliot Shepard)
