Corrie Ten Boom survived a Nazi concentration camp.  She was quite a woman.

While sharing part of her testimony, Corrie wrote the following.  I loved it.  It speaks beautifully of the faith we believers have, regardless of what comes in the days and years ahead 🙂  Much thanks to my friend Teri Savage for passing along this wonderful story.

Corrie Ten Boom

‘When I was a little girl’ I said, ‘I went to my father and said, ‘Daddy, I am afraid that I will never be strong enough to be a martyr for Jesus Christ.’

‘Tell me,’ said Father, ‘When you take a train trip to Amsterdam, when do I give you the money for the ticket?  Three weeks before?’

‘No, Daddy, you give me the money for the ticket just before we get on the train.’

‘That is right,’ my father said, ‘and so it is with God’s strength.  Our Father in Heaven knows when you will need the strength to be a martyr for Jesus Christ.  He will supply all you need—just in time…’

Amen!  I hope in those moments, our God empowers us to believe the same.
