The Power To Break My Heart
Abi and Trevor Ponsford
“I don’t know why I did this but something in my heart made me ask “Do I have your full blessing?” It took him a moment to think about what I was asking and then he looked me in the eye and spoke the words that had the power to break my heart.”
“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)
