“Nay then, but let me give to Him not what I value least, but what I prize and delight in most.” ~Elizabeth Prentiss

“There is no wilderness so dreary but that His love can illuminate it, no desolation so desolate but that He can sweeten it. I know what I am saying. It is no delusion. I believe the highest, purest happiness is known only to those who have learned Christ in sickrooms, in poverty, in racking suspense and anxiety, amid hardships, and at the open grave.”

“To love Christ more is the deepest need — the constant cry of my soul.” ~Elizabeth Prentiss
