Corrie ten Boom
Corrie ten Boom was in her late forties when the war began; afterward she travelled widely, speaking about forgiveness.
Feels like hope, death and nature.
Love doesn't disappear when it's blocked; it looks for a way through.
Do you know what hurts so very much? It’s love. Love is the strongest force in the world, and when it is blocked that means pain. There are two things we can do when this happens. We can kill that love so that it stops hurting. But then of course part of us dies, too. Or we can ask God to open up another route for that love to travel. Books by Corrie ten Boom
