Corrie ten Boom: Use

“There are no 'if's' in God's world. And no places that are safer than other places. The center of His will is our only safety - let us pray that we may always know it!”

“If God has shown us bad times ahead, it's enough for me that He knows about them. That's why He sometimes shows us things, you know - to tell us that this too is in His hands.”

“Whenever we cannot love in the old, human way… God can give us the perfect way.”

“Today I know that such memories are the key not to the past, but to the future. I know that the experiences of our lives, when we let God use them, become the mysterious and perfect preparation for the work He will give us to do.”

“We never know how God will answer our prayers, but we can expect that He will get us involved in His plan for the answer. If we are true intercessors, we must be ready to take part in God’s work on behalf of the people for whom we pray.”

“If God sends us on strong paths, we are provided strong shoes.”

“If the devil cannot make us bad, he will make us busy.”

“He uses our problems for His miracles. This was my first lesson in learning to trust Him completely…”

“When He tells us to love our enemies He gives, along with the command, the love itself.”

“It is not on our forgiveness any more than on our goodness that the world's healing hinges, but His. When He tells us to love our enemies, He gives, along with the command, the love itself.”
