I found these quotes from Corrie Ten boon so very uplifting, especially with all we see happening in our country today.
A very remarkable woman of faith and Spiritual Wisdom who suffered under Nazi occupation and in the concentration camps.
There are 276 quotes in all, I only listed a few but I posted a link at the bottom for those who would like to read rest.
Corrie ten Boom Biography
(1892–1983)
Corrie ten Boom and her family helped Jews escape the Nazi Holocaust during World War II and, by all accounts, saved nearly 800 lives.
Who Was Corrie ten Boom?
Cornelia "Corrie" ten Boom grew up in a devoutly religious family. During World War II, she and her family harbored hundreds of Jews to protect them from arrest by Nazi authorities. Betrayed by a fellow Dutch citizen, the entire family was imprisoned. Corrie survived and started a worldwide ministry and later told her story in a book entitled The Hiding Place and in a movie based on the book.
Quotes:
“If you look at the world, you'll be distressed. If you look within, you'll be depressed. If you look at God you'll be at rest.”
“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.”
“When a train goes through a tunnel and it gets dark, you don’t throw away the ticket and jump off. You sit still and trust the engineer.”
“Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow, it empties today of its strength.”
“Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God.”
“Forgiveness is an act of the will, and the will can function regardless of the temperature of the heart.”
“This is what the past is for! Every experience God gives us, every person He puts in our lives is the perfect preparation for the future that only He can see.”
“Worrying is carrying tomorrow's load with today's strength- carrying two days at once. It is moving into tomorrow ahead of time. Worrying doesn't empty tomorrow of its sorrow, it empties today of its strength.”
“Hold everything in your hands lightly, otherwise it hurts when God pries your fingers open.
“You can never learn that Christ is all you need, until Christ is all you have.”
“There is no pit so deep, that God's love is not deeper still.”
“Is prayer your steering wheel or your spare tire?”
“Some knowledge is too heavy...you cannot bear it...your Father will carry it until you are able.”
“Happiness isn't something that depends on our surroundings...It's something we make inside ourselves.”
“Don't bother to give God instructions; just report for duty.”
“Dear Jesus...how foolish of me to have called for human help when You are here.”
“It is not my ability, but my response to God’s ability, that counts.”
“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!”
“Worry is a cycle of inefficient thoughts whirling around a center of fear.”
“God's viewpoint is sometimes different from ours - so different that we could not even guess at it unless He had given us a Book which tells us such things....In the Bible I learn that God values us not for our strenght or our brains but simply because He has made us.”
“Forgiveness is the key that unlocks the door of resentment and the handcuffs of hatred. It is a power that breaks the chains of bitterness and the shackles of selfishness.”
“Memories are the key not to the past, but to the future.”
“When I try, I fail.
When I trust,
He succeeds.”
“And our wise Father in heaven knows when we're going to need things too. Don't run out ahead of Him.”
Faith is like radar that sees through the fog -- the reality of things at a distance that the human eye cannot see.”
“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.”
