Wherever you are be all there

Wherever you are be all there

Jim Elliot was a missionary who dedicated his life to spreading the message of Christianity to remote and unreached tribes in Ecuador. He famously said, “Wherever you are, be all there,” which encapsulates his commitment to fully immersing himself in the present moment and giving his all to the task at hand.

Elliot understood the importance of being fully present in the moment, whether it was in his interactions with the people he was trying to reach or in his personal relationship with God. He believed that being fully present allowed him to connect more deeply with others and to better understand their needs and struggles. By being fully present, he was able to show genuine care and compassion for those he was trying to help, which ultimately helped him to build trust and form meaningful relationships.

Elliot’s commitment to being all there also extended to his relationship with God. He believed that by being fully present in his prayers and in his worship, he could better connect with God and receive guidance and strength to carry out his mission. He understood that being distracted or half-hearted in his devotion would hinder his ability to hear God’s voice and follow His will.
