Corrie ten Boom was a woman of God. The daughter of a watchmaker in Holland, she spent some awful times in the concentration camps during the terrible World War II era. She knew what it was to exercise her faith. She learned things in the fire of trials that many of us struggle our whole lifetime to learn. Here are some quotes from her book, 'The Hiding Place':
Dear Jesus... how foolish of me to have called for human help when You are here.
My job was simply to follow His leading one step at a time, holding every decision up to Him in prayer.
In the Bible I learn that God values us not for our strength or our brains, but simply because He has made us.
If people can be taught to hate, they can be taught to love.
Our Bible was the center of an ever-widening circle of help and hope.
In darkness, God's truth shines most clear.
I learned that love is larger than the walls which shut it in.
This was the great ploy of Satan in that kingdom of his: to display such blatant evil that one could almost believe one's own secret sins didn't matter.
There are no "ifs" in God's kingdom. His timing is perfect. His will is our hiding place.
When He tells us to love our enemies, He gives, along with the command, the love itself.
