The best learning I had came from teaching.
Corrie Ten Boom
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.

The life of a Christian is an education for higher service.
Corrie Ten Boom
If it’s dark everywhere, you can become so discouraged. You might doubt whether light still exists. But even if you can’t see the Lord, He sees you and me. Jesus said, 'And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age' (Matt. 28:20). When it’s necessary, He suddenly says, 'I’m still here!'
Corrie Ten Boom
God dealt with our whole situation on the cross there is nothing left for you to settle. Just say to Him, 'Lord, I cannot forgive and I will no longer try to do it but I trust that You in me will do it. I can't forgive and love but I trust that You will forgive and love in my place and that You will do these things in me.'
Corrie Ten Boom
There is an ocean of Gods love available-there is plenty for everyone. May God grant you never to doubt that victorious love-whatever the circumstances.
Corrie Ten Boom
Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow, it empties today of its strength. it does not enable us to escape evil. It makes us unfit to face evil when it comes. it is the interest you pay on trouble before it comes.
