More Like Christ

"God will not protect you from anything that makes you more like Christ." - Elizabeth Elliot

I love this quote. I love it because it means that God wants to give me real joy through holiness instead of shallow, empty happiness. I love it because it means that in season, sown suffering yields blessing. I love it because it means that as I become more Christ-like, I become more joy-filled. And all this is grace.
