Jim Elliot (who gave his life while working as a missionary in Ecuador, South America)
Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are not sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior. Habakkuk 3:19

yourself, O Lord, and our heart is restless until it rests in you.”
yourself, O Lord, and our heart is restless until it rests in you.”
