P. 34
After her experiences in a Concentration Camp, during World War 2,
Corrie ten Boom loved to say, “ There is no pit so deep that He is
not deeper still.” My sister and I have personally experienced that
ourselves.
Maybe there is someone in your life you need to forgive. Tell God about
it, asking him to heal each hurtful memory as you bring each thing
specifically to your mind and ask him to for-give the other person,
remembering as you do how precious they are to God. He loves the
person, not the deed. So, I can truly say that God was with me in the
pit; that He takes our difficulties and will turn them to good in your life,
if you'll let Him. He wastes nothing. I believe that self-pity is one of the
most common factors in preventing emotional healing in peo-ple's lives.
Just thank God for the difficulties and trust Him. I am so thankful for the
times I went through. I am thankful for all of those hard times because
they have made me the woman I am today. I challenge you today to
be a neighbour in your neighbourhood and in the community. Spread the
love of God around, because that is what saved me.
God can take the most devastating events in our lives and turn
them into our biggest gift - if we let him. I have written close to
200 simple Bible story books, each with sequential comic style
illustrations by Rich-ard Gunther. These are all FREE to print from
our web-site and are used by thousands of teachers world wide.
These have been translated into many languages. All those
hours and hours reading my little Bible where not wasted. Whoever
would have imagined I would have a world wide ministry?
Only God!
