Daily Inspiration by Corrie Ten Boom

Corrie Ten Boom is an inspiration to many, and her life is a testament to faith, resilience, and the power of forgiveness. She and her family risked everything to hide Jews from the Nazis during World War II. Sadly, this ultimately is the leading to their arrest and imprisonment in concentration camps. Despite the unimaginable suffering she endured, Corrie clung to her faith in God. She actively was witnessing His faithfulness even in the darkest circumstances.

It’s difficult to comprehend the life she was forced to live—watching her loved ones die, experiencing the cruelty of Ravensbrück, and enduring physical and emotional torment. Yet, through it all, she remained steadfast in her trust in God. Her story is a humbling reminder that even in the face of devastation, God’s love and providence never fail.

One of the most powerful aspects of Corrie’s story is her unwavering commitment to forgiveness. After the war, she traveled the world, sharing her testimony and speaking about the importance of forgiving even the unforgivable. One of the most striking moments in her life came when she was approached by a former Nazi guard from Ravensbrück. This guard has since found Christ. In that moment, she had to make the choice to either hold onto her pain or extend the same grace God had given her. Through His strength, she chose to forgive.

Forgiveness is not always easy, but Corrie’s life proves that it is possible. Her story should inspire us all to trust God through hardship. Also, to love unconditionally, and to forgive even when it seems impossible. Her words and example continue to remind us that no pit is so deep that God’s love is not deeper still.

Integrity

This is something I tell my kids (and myself) on, almost, a daily basis. This is the definition of integrity. Once you realize that everyone you encounter is not just by happenstance, it is directly ordained by God. You can take every moment captive and when you make eye contact with someone, pray for peace in their lives. Say that “breath” prayer because behind that smile, those fancy clothes, the ragged clothes, the haggard or dirty looks you may be getting from that person…there is a story. You don’t have to know the details to do the right thing and choosing kindness.
A breath prayer is just that…one breath. “Jesus, give them peace.” It is simple, focused, and to the point. Some people think you need to be in a 3 piece suit and speak like King James spoke with all the “thou art” type phrases. Talk to Jesus like you talk to yourself or to a friend. When I am having a big moment and I am going to pray out loud is to say “in the Name of Jesus, satan and all his friends must leave” and then it is game on LOL.
 
On a joyful note…Happy birthday to my sweet daughter and my mother-in-law. The joy that they both bring to my life is unexplainable. I’m thankful we get to celebrate them.

You are not Hidden

You are not Hidden

That phrase. You are not Hidden. It stirs in my soul. There are days when I feel like He doesn’t see me. He doesn’t care that He doesn’t hear my prayers. I am sure other people think that, but I listened to this song. He does hear me. When I am silently crying, alone, He hears me. Then, He sends His army just for me. He doesn’t send it to Antarctica or Timbuktu. The army comes to me, wherever I might be. Now, He may not respond to me the way I want it, but He still hears me. He still answers me. Click on Lauren Daigle’s name, and it will take you to the video. Very powerful.

I have this song on my playlist. Since I listen to it often, it is one that we all stop and focus on when the kids are doing their homework. One day, listening to this, I was all up in the Spirit. I looked over to my left, and there H was sitting. His eyes closed, his hands up in the air, and he sang along. My heart almost exploded.

Rescue

~by Lauren Daigle

You are not hidden
There’s never been a moment
You were forgotten
{You} are not hopeless
Though you have been broken
Your innocence stolen
I hear you whisper underneath your breath
{I} hear your SOS, your SOS
I will send out an army to find you
In the middle of the darkest night
It’s true, I will rescue you
There is no distance
That cannot be covered
Over and over
You’re not defenseless
I’ll be your shelter
{I’ll} be your armor
I hear you whisper underneath your breath
{I} hear your SOS, your SOS
I will send out an army to find you
In the middle of the darkest night
It’s true, I will rescue you
I will never stop marching to reach you
In the middle of the hardest fight
It’s true, I will rescue you
I hear the whisper underneath your breath
{I} hear you whisper, you have nothing left
I will send out an army to find you
In the middle of the darkest night
It’s true, I will rescue you
I will never stop marching to reach you
In the middle of the hardest fight
It’s true, I will rescue you
Oh, I will rescue you
