20 Powerful Quotes from Corrie ten Boom

"You can never learn that Christ is all you need, until Christ is all you have." -Corrie ten Boom

“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.” -Corrie ten Boom

“Today I know that such memories are the key not to the past, but to the future. I know that the experiences of our lives, when we let God use them, become the mysterious and perfect preparation for the work he will give us to do.” -Corrie ten Boom

“And our wise Father in heaven knows when we're going to need things too. Don't run out ahead of him.” -Corrie ten Boom

When he tells us to love our enemies, he gives along with the command, the love itself.” -Corrie ten Boom
