Corrie Ten Boom's Father said," There are two things we can do when we feel pain of Love!
We can kill the 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."
Corrie Learned from her mother when her mom was crippled and three years of paralysis from a stroke.
Her Mom said, "Love is larger than the walls which shut it in."
Corrie's Father spoke: Love is the strongest force in the world, and when it is blocked that means pain.
Whenever we cannot love in the Human way God can give us the perfect way.
Psalms: "Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path.... Thou art my hiding place and my shield I hope in thy Word."
Corrie's Mother said, "Happiness isn't something that depends on our surroundings; It's something we make inside ourselves."
Corrie's Father was wise in saying: Some knowledge is too heavy for children; when you are older and stronger you can bare it! For now, you must trust me to carry it for you."
When Corrie was young, she went with her family to visit a family who lost their little baby. She touched the fingers of the small, curled hand; later that night Corrie burst into tears when her father came to tuck her into bed. She yelled out. "I need you!" You can't die! you can't!"
Corrie's Father sat beside her on the narrow bed. Hey, you! you and I go to Amsterdam; when do I give you your ticket.?" "Just before we get on the train." "Exactly. Our wise Father in heaven knows when we're going to need things too. Don't run out ahead of him. When the time comes that some of us will have to die, you will look into your heart and find the strength you need --- Just in time."
CORRIE TEN BOOM'S QUOTES:
1) Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God.
2)Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow
It empties today of its strength.
3) 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.
4) Memories are the key not to the past,
but to the future.
5) The first step on the way to
victory is to recognize the enemy.
6) Forgiveness is an act of the will,
and the will can function
regardless of the temperature of
the heart.
7) Let God's promise shine on your problems
8)The measure of a life, after all, is not
its duration, but its donation.
9) Any concern too small to be
turned into prayer is too small
to be made into a burden.
10) Worry is a cycle of inefficient
thoughts whirling around a
center of fear.
11)Discernment is God's call to
intercession, never to faultfinding.
