Corrie Ten Boom Quotes

He consoled himself with the fact that, in the real world, when he looked closely into the darkness he might find the presence of a light, damaged and bruised, but a little light all the same. He wanted, quite simply, for the world to be a better place, and he was in the habit of hoping for it.

From my point of view, God is the light that illuminates the darkness, even if it does not dissolve it, and a spark of divine light is within each of us.

The cynics, they can only speak of the dark, of the obvious, and this is not hard. For all it’s supposed sophistication, it’s cynicism that’s simplistic. In a fallen world, how profound is to see the cracks?

Before me, even as behind, God is, and all is well.

Keep your nose out the sky, keep your heart to god, and keep your face to the raising sun.

I believe in God and his son, Jesus.

I do have a belief in God, and no matter what happens to me, things are gonna be OK. It doesn't matter whether the tumours have spread or not, because either way, I'm gonna turn out a winner.

When I realize I've come through so much, good and bad, because of my relationship with Christ, I can't hide that light within me.

I don't like to say I'm not a believer because I still feel like a believer in a lot of things, primarily hope and grace and the power of human connection.

Sometimes you find your strongest faith in the darkest corners.

I wouldn't be out here without God, without Jesus in my life.

I believe in God, and I believe in miracles, and I believe that everything is possible.

Sometimes I think Jesus can't wait until we preachers finish our boring sermons. He can't wait to heal people.
