Hard times come for all in life, with no real explanation. When we walk through suffering, it has the potential to devastate and destroy, or to be the gateway to gratitude and joy.
Elisabeth Elliot was no stranger to suffering. Her first husband, Jim, was murdered by the Waoroni people in Ecuador moments after he arrived in hopes of sharing the gospel. Her second husband was lost to cancer. Yet, it was in her deepest suffering that she learned the deepest lessons about God.
Why doesn’t God do something about suffering? He has, He did, He is, and He will.
Suffering and love are inexplicably linked, as God’s love for His people is evidenced in His sending Jesus to carry our sins, griefs, and sufferings on the cross, sacrificially taking what was not His on Himself so that we would not be required to carry it. He has walked the ultimate path of suffering, and He has won victory on our behalf.
This truth led Elisabeth to say, “Whatever is in the cup that God is offering to me, whether it be pain and sorrow and suffering and grief along with the many more joys, I’m willing to take it because I trust Him.”
Because suffering is never for nothing.

Elisabeth Elliot has suffered, but she is intent on emphasizing that not all suffering is the same. Her suffering isn’t the same as someone else’s. Her words may not comfort in a specific context because her suffering may be different from that of the listener. Elliot defined suffering as "having what you don't want or wanting what you don't have". I found this to be a profound definition.
Suffering must mean something. Meaning makes suffering valuable. Elliot processes her grief with the reader tenderly. While I did not enjoy or finish “Passion and Purity”, this one was a book worth reading several times over for its meaty dissection of experience, trauma, and emotion through a Biblical, theological eye, to learn the rhetoric we ought to be teaching ourselves in the middle of the hard things. Elliot found peace in her pain by speaking truth to herself and then keeping busy. She seemed to strongly caution over-processing which I needed to hear, honestly.
I will be reading this one again.
