Listen Later

What could God do with your words—your simple offering—if you gave them fully to Him? Can your quiet acts of obedience echo long after you’re gone? We often think impact requires a platform, a name, or a following. But what if God is writing a story through your life that you won’t fully see until eternity? Faithfulness doesn’t always get noticed here on earth, but in God’s hands, it can ripple across generations and reach places you never imagined.

In this episode, Tracie and Abigail uncover the beautiful story of Elizabeth Clephane, a humble Scottish woman whose poem would become one of the most beloved hymns of the 19th century. Unknown during her lifetime, her words were discovered years after her death by Ira Sankey, the gifted soloist who traveled with D. L. Moody. The hymn quickly became a favorite at the great Moody Revival Crusades, stirring hearts and drawing countless souls to Christ. This moving account reminds us that God can take even the quietest offerings and write them into eternity.
