Deliverance from Useless Frustration & Regret
From the last letter of [Jim Elliot's] sophomore year:
"What a brutish master sin is, taking the joy from one's life, stealing money and health, giving promise of tomorrow's pleasures and finally leading one onto the rotten planking that overlies the mouth of the pit. It is with honest praise to God I can look up tonight and rejoicein His loving-kindess in delivering me from a life of useless frustration and the ultimate agonies of the gnawing, undying worms of remorse and regret."
