Corrie Ten Boom

Corrie Ten Boom
You never so touch the ocean of God's love as when you forgive and love your enemies.
Corrie Ten Boom
God can give a straight blow with a crooked stick.
Corrie Ten Boom
Trying to do the Lord's work in your own strength is the most confusing, exhausting, and tedious of all work. But when you are filled with the Holy Spirit, then the ministry of Jesus just flows out of you.
Corrie Ten Boom
If the enemy cannot make you BAD, he’ll make you BUSY.
Corrie Ten Boom
Child, you have to learn to see things in the right proportions. Learn to see great things great and small things small.
Corrie Ten Boom
If you cannot find time to pray, ask for forgiveness. Ask to be cleansed of the sin of having no time to pray ... It could be that Satan is pushing you into too much work so that you cannot take time to pray.
Corrie Ten Boom
My father prayed because he had a good friend with whom to share the problems of the day.
