God Never Promised An Easy Path
This is a phrase that I remember seeing all the time while we were students at Northland on all their promotional posters. Recently the Lord brought this back to my mind through an exercise that we had to do in French class – a commentary on the quotation from Jim Elliot, “He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep, to gain what he cannot lose.” As I was thinking of this quotation, some of the difficulties that we face here on the mission field, and the difficulties that others around us are facing, this saying once again really ministered to my heart because, truly, God never did promise an easy path. Instead he promised that He would be with us and that it would all be worth it in the end.

Yo no yablo Espanol. Yo soy Yankee. I do speak some English and I’m pretty good at American. I’m nearly a Francophobe tho. They spell “prix” without using the letter “E”. All of which is a roundabout way of asking what the phrase really says in a real language. BTW, I do admire folks who speak two languages, but not enough to do anything about it.
