“The blacker the night around us grew, the brighter and truer and more beautiful burned the word of God.”
― Corrie ten Boom, The Hiding Place

“The real sin lay in thinking that any power to help and transform came from me. Of course it was not my wholeness, but Christ’s that made the difference.”
― Corrie ten Boom, The Hiding Place

Corrie ten Boom
“Happiness isn’t something that depends on our surroundings, Corrie. It’s something we make inside ourselves.”
― Corrie ten Boom, The Hiding Place

“Perhaps only when human effort had done its best and failed, would God’s power alone be free to work.”
― Corrie ten Boom, The Hiding Place

Corrie ten Boom
“Thank you," Betsie went on serenely, "for the fleas and for-"

The fleas! This was too much. "Betsie, there's no way even God can make me grateful for a flea."

"Give thanks in all circumstances," she quoted. "It doesn't say, 'in pleasant circumstances.' Fleas are part of this place where God has put us."
