To pray only when in peril is to use safety belts only in heavy traffic.

Do you know what hurts so very much? It's love. Love is the strongest force in the world, and when it is blocked that means pain. There are two things we can do when this happens. We can kill that love so that it stops hurting. But then of course part of us dies, too. Or we can ask God to open up another route for that love to travel.

We deal with God - who is Love. He isn't a dictator. He is a loving Father. There is no end to what He would like to do for us.
Corrie Ten Boom -
... God uses such seemingly insignificant ways to prepare us for the plan He has for our lives.
Corrie Ten Boom -
When people come up and give me a compliment... I take each remark as if it were a flower. At the end of the day I lift up the bouquet of flowers I have gathered throughout the day and say, 'Here you are, Lord, it is all Yours.'
Corrie Ten Boom -
If you want to hear God's voice clearly and you are uncertain, then remain in His presence until He changes this uncertainty. Often much can happen during this waiting for the Lord. Sometimes, He changes pride into humility; doubt into faith and peace; sometimes lust into purity. The Lord can and will do it.
Corrie Ten Boom -
Faith sees the invisible, believes the unbelievable, and receives the impossible.

Mama's love had always been the kind that acted itself out with soup pot and sewing basket. But now that these things were taken away, the love seemed as whole as before. She sat in her chair at the window and loved us. She loved the people she saw in the street-- and beyond: her love took in the city, the land of Holland, the world. And so I learned that love is larger than the walls which shut it in.
Corrie Ten Boom -
What a sad mistake we sometimes make when we think that God only cares about Christians.
Corrie Ten Boom -
I feel I have a divine mandate to go and tell the people of this world that it is possible to be strong in the Lord Jesus Christ. We are in training for the tribulation, but more than sixty percent of the Body of Christ across the world has already entered into the tribulation. There is no way to escape it. We are next.

A religion that is small enough for our understanding would not be big enough for our needs.

Thank you, Lord, that You are the Conqueror and that You want to make us more than conquerors.

Jesus did not promise to change the circumstances around us. He promised great peace and pure joy to those who would learn to believe that God actually controls all things.
Corrie Ten Boom -
I thank You, Jesus, that You brought into my heart God's love through the Holy Spirit. Thank You, Father, that Your love in me is stronger than my hatred.
Corrie Ten Boom -
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.
Corrie Ten Boom -
And for all these people alike, the key to healing turned out to be the same. Each had a hurt he had to forgive.

Memories are the key not to the past, but to the future.
Corrie Ten Boom -
As a camel kneels before his master to have him remove his burden at the end of the day, so kneel each night and let the Master take your burden.

The devil smiles when we are up to our ears in work, but he trembles when we pray.
