To Pray Only When In Peril Is

If God Has Shown Us Bad Times Ahead, It's Enough For Me That He Knows About Them. That's Why He Sometimes Shows Us Things, You Know - To Tell Us That This Too Is In His Hands.

One Day As Father And I Were Returning From Our Walk We Found The Grote Markt Cordoned Off By A Double Ring Of Police And Soldiers. A Truck Was Parked In Front Of The Fish Mart; Into The Back Were Climbing Men, Women, And Children, All Wearing The Yellow Star. . . . "father! Those Poor People!" I Cried. . . . "those Poor People," Father Echoed. But To My Surprise I Saw That He Was Looking At The Solders Now Forming Into Ranks To March Away. "i Pity The Poor Germans, Corrie. They Have Touched The Apple Of God's Eye.

Even As The Angry Vengeful Thoughts Boiled Through Me, I Saw The Sin Of Them. Jesus Christ Had Died For This Man; Was I Going To Ask For More? Lord Jesus, I Prayed, Forgive Me And Help Me To Forgive Him....jesus, I Cannot Forgive Him. Give Me Your Forgiveness....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.

Hold Loosely To The Things Of This Life, So That If God Requires Them Of You, It Will Be Easy To Let Them Go.

A Religion That Is Small Enough For Our Understanding Would Not Be Big Enough For Our Needs.
