We may be earnestly desiring to be obedient and holy. But we may be missing the fact that it is here, where we happen to be at this moment and not in another place or another time, that we may learn to love Him--here, where it seems He is not at work, where His will seems obscure and frightening, where He is not doing what we expected Him to do, where He is most absent. Here and nowhere else is the appointed place. If faith does not work here, it will not go to work at all.
-Elizabeth Elliot
