The Hiding Place

by Corrie ten Boom

Every experience God gives us, every person He puts in our lives is the perfect preparation for a future that only He can see.”

Perhaps only when human effort had done its best and failed, would God’s power alone be free to work.

And so I discovered that it is not on our forgiveness any more than on our goodness that the world’s healing hinges, but on His. When He tells us to love our enemies, He gives, along with the command, the love itself.
